Video: Smith Westerns, “Be My Girl” (Live at Monster Island)

story Peter Macia

The Smith Westerns and their shouty, glammed demand for lady-friendship made its debut right here and also appears on our first Visionary Podcast, but it took Ray Concepcion’s jerky video, from the band’s recent show at Brooklyn’s Monster Island (looking as hellish and hot as ever), to make us realize how badly we want these dudes to become the next Rolling Stones. Or Strokes. Whatever, we just want them to get big.
