Quasi Founder & Multi-Instrumentalist Talks Touring and Recording Experiences (Sam Coomes)

Sam Coomes is a Cascadia based musician/producer, half of the long-running underground pop band Quasi (along with Janet Weiss {Sleater-Kinney}), & synth player in Jon Spencer and the Hitmakers. SC has also toured &/or recorded with Built To Spill, Elliott Smith, Jandek, The Go-Betweens, Marissa Anderson, J.D. Pinkus (Butthole Surfers) & a long list of musicians of lesser media visibility, & is also a member of heavy prog/experimental ensemble Pink Mountain (not to be confused with The Pink Mountaintops {unfortunate happenstance}), Crock - a duo also featuring Spencer Seim (Hella), & Deep Fried Boogie Band. He has collaborated with visual artist/musician Chris Johanson on soundtracks to art installations (Ensemble IS) & scored several films by Portland based underground filmmaker Vanessa Renwick. SC has toured internationally as a solo artist, first under the name Blues Goblins, & later under his more mundane given name. Oddly, SC is a two time member or the Oregon Music Hall of Fame (it exists), as a member of Quasi & also as a member of Heatmiser. All production by Cody Maxwell. Artwork by Cody Maxwell.
