With Friends Like These is a 1979 studio album of improvised experimental music by Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.

[2][3] While Kaiser never joined the band permanently, he played guitar at several of their European concerts in April and June 1978.

[4] Frith and Kaiser's work together resulted in a partnership that gave rise to two collaborative albums, With Friends Like These and Who Needs Enemies?,[3] and several concert performances.

[5][1] In a review in AllMusic, Dean McFarlane called With Friends Like These "[a]n extraordinary collaboration between two of avant-garde's most respected guitarists".

[6] McFarlane concluded that With Friends Like These showcases some of Frith and Kaiser's "most striking performances", and demands repeated listening, which, he said, is unusual for this type of music.
