    The best two person band of all time for me. I know some may have other choices but the synergy, musicianship, songwriting and their amazing consistency of pop chaos cannot be beaten. ALL HAIL.

    Janet Weiss is a monster drummer. I remember trying to give her a handbill for my band on Hawthorne in PDX in 99 and she hipster denied me, I only lost a tiny amount of respect for her at the time but loved her more when I heard her drumming on The Steve Malkmus and The Jicks records.

    This was the first performance since the pandemic that guests were allowed back in the studio to watch. There was about 20 of us and I had never seen them but was blown away. Absolutely loved watching them perform these tunes. The guests are behind the string lights in a second room with a big glass wall separating the two rooms. Sound in there is amazing.

    KEXP sound engineers are exceptional. Other Quasi live radio appearances seem to have a harder time balancing raunchy sounding keyboards with the crispness of the drums. This sounds amazing.
    Cheryl Waters is a national treasure.

      I did the same last time they played London in 2013... Helped them with their gear loading out of the back of Cargo and probably said some pretty dumb shit whilst doing so. It's all part of the process.
