I like Quasi..
one time i saw a triple bill of Sleater Kinney, Quasi & SM+Jicks. I guess i could have just seen wild flag instead.
Looking forward to hearing the band, but I wish Carrie didn’t give up her NPR gig in the process.
Playing in bellingham Wa at the green frog tavern on Nov 11 , sweet little place.
