Tonight: Girlfriends @ the Alchemist JP

Hotline repost: Earlier this month I listed 10 local bands to look out for in 2010, and one of them, Girlfriends, hits the Alchemist Lounge in Jamaica Plain tonight for a gig that's free as the air we breathe.

Here's what we said in our "10 in '10" picks: Boston loves a garage rock jangle. Fast, agile and all sorts of gritty, Girlfriends dirty up ’60s melodies with brash buzzsaw guitars and already appears destined to be the band that breaks up way before its time.

Hotline can totally see blokes digging through dusty record shops ten years from now looking to find that old rare Girlfriends release. So swing by the Alchemist and buy everything they have. NOW.
