Biography
Portland, United States (1993 – present)
In 1990, Coomes, Weiss, and Brad Pedinov formed the band Motorgoat. The band released two self-released cassettes and one 7” single before dissolving in 1993. Quasi started recording as a duo in 1993. They played with various additional musicians in early live appearances, but eventually settled on playing live as a duo as well. They self-recorded and self-released a cassette and a CD in 1993. They recorded R&B Transmogrification in the Portland band Pond’s basement recording studio and released it on Up Records in 1997. They released two more albums with Up: Featuring “Birds” in 1998 and Field Studies in 1999; both albums were recorded at Jackpot Studios in Portland, Oregon.
In 1998 and 1999 they toured the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Japan opening for and serving as the backup band for Elliott Smith (who Coomes had played with in Heatmiser) as well as touring on their own in the U.S. and Europe. In 2001 They home-recorded The Sword of God and released it on Touch & Go.

@BrainPies: By far the best band Janet has played in. Don't get me wrong, I like S-K and the Jicks, but.. yeah. Quasi is better.

I've put these off of a long time, but 'Featuring Birds' is probably one of the best records I've heard in ages

@jonny_juicebags They've been around for 18 years, I don't think you have to worry about them getting any more popular than they are right now.

Enlightendkitty is truly enlightened. I met Malkmus this year and it was disappointing to say the least - he didn't have time for anything. Later that month however, I met Sam Coombes and we spoke at length, just like you would with somebody in a bar - a very genuine, nice fellow!
