Emerging from the rooftops of Chicago in 2007, Netherfriends are that bastard-psych-pop-catchy as hell band that you’ve been searching for. They recently signed with indie label Emergency Umbrella. Their debut 6 song EP “Calling You Out,” fused heavily layered arrangements with group sing-a-longs, spare pianos, synths, glockenspiels and other hard to place, but familiar sounds. The three-piece psychedelic pop band grabbed some early spark and attention from places like Blender and RCRD LBL and have played at both SXSW in Austin and CMJ in New York City. Netherfriends features Shawn Rosenblatt (vocals, guitar, keys, samples) a freshly minted college graduate this spring, planning to put his education to use from the road. At the moment, he has many different individuals play live with him.

“Netherfriends make some of the most likeable music this kid has heard in quite some time.” -RCRDLBL
“Wander into bar. Buy cheep beer. Discover Greatness. Banging out sweetly distorted sing-along melodies on guitar, keyboard and drums, Chicago trio Netherfriends delivered the thrill of the unknown.” -Blender Magazine

I can't put the actual video for this song on myspace & yes I know the lyrics are just some asshole going out of his way to be disgusting. but the beat to this is the best hip hop beat in the past decade ( Not to mention the only one in history to sample The Zombies)
What's up guys? So If I just read corectly, Angie's no longer in the band? I thought I'd see you guys again befor Nara Sushi was over. but I was obviously wrong about that one.
sorry about that! kinda got a bit distracted by various people and beverages. perhaps our paths will cross again indeeeed. good luck with the rest of the tour!
I was reading the paper during work, and there was a review of your EP! The review was all good, and I kept it if you're interested. I was surprised but happy for you guys when I found this! Keep up the good work. We gotta play a show together sometime. Love, TUB
yay now im friends with the netherfriends! i hope to be at schubas this week for ur show. pretty excited for that if i can make it off work. btw check out my stuff if u have the interest, just for the hell of it.
They played you guys on "The Current" this morning! If you are not familiar, it is the biggest indie music radio station we have in the state...I felt like a proud mama! Hope all is well. We'll see you guys soon! -ML
