290: Sam Coomes (Quasi)

Today's guest is Sam Coomes, a singer, songwriter, and
multi-instrumentalist who is perhaps best known as one half of
the duo, Quasi, a band he co-founded with Janet Weiss in 1993.


Sam possesses a seemingly effortless sense of musicality and a
gift for uniquely memorable melody. His lyrics are also
fantastic...basically, he has all the bases covered. Aside from
his work with Quasi, Sam's played with a host of artists such as
Built to Spill, The Go-Betweens, Jon Spencer, Heatmiser, Pink
Mountain.


Quasi recently released an incredible video for their song "Last
Days of the Thin Blue Line Lie". Check it out here.
