mp3 premiere: "Pleasures" - boyfriends

Having just wrapped a dream tour lineup with eternal pals Mommy Long Legs, Boyfriends are returning back to work, preparing to release a 7". Today we're stoked to bring you the premiere of single, "Pleasures", along with a quick little Q&A with the sweetest boyfriends we've ever had. This single is sweet, bombastic and serious - highlighting that gender is over, if you want it.

TGE:  So Boyfriends just completed your tour with our best pals Mommy Long Legs. How was that and do you enjoy touring?

MICHAEL-It was like being stuck inside the best oasis song; it ruuuuled! They are so zany! So kooky! Soooo kewt! We all hung out every night and tried to out diva each other. We totally out diva'd Mommy Ling Legs.

SHAWN-they are freaks and we love them, we moshed under the desert moon light and practiced our archery in Joshua Tree. generally just slutted around the western half of this continent. it was beautiful.

TGE: How did the band come together?

SHAWN-bonding over lip stick and nail polish, a dance party, an unsolicited Facebook message, Earth Magick, and the 3 goddess' Diana, Selene, and Hecate.  

TGE: You created a custom lipstick for the Tacocat DJ thing...if you could create a custom nail polish (my dream merch item) what would it be as far as color and name?

SHAWN-i want a nail polish that doesn't chip while playing bass. id call mine "moon punk" and it would shine glittery silver under moon light.

TGE: Tell us a little bit about the track "Pleasures" - what's it about?

SHAWN- Futuresex. it's about a world where the patriarchy has been destroyed and gender roles have been abolished entirely. 

TGE: What's next for Boyfriends as far as releases and tours and life?

SHAWN-we are touring this month around the east coast and south with Tacocat. we are recording an album shortly after we get home from that. we have some cool shows coming up this summer, playing the pride picnic in volunteer park in seattle and at Cha Cha during Capitol Hill Block Party

TGE: Give us a Boyfriends fun fact.

SHAWN-Sergio has the softest eyebrows, like rabbit fur.

MICHAEL-We used to be called Hotdogs and we only drink Buzz Bombs
