Sub Pop is elated to announce the signing of the famed PNW duo, Quasi. Janet Weiss and Sam Coomes are the enduring perennial Portland two-piece Indie Rock and Roll band behind nine beloved albums and countless raucous performances. The world they inhabit is both strange and familiar like an alien riding a minibike. Although both Sam and Janet have played in numerous seminal musical outfits throughout the past several decades (Sleater-Kinney, Heatmiser, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Elliott Smith, Wild Flag, Jon Spencer and the HITmakers, etc.), Quasi remains their centerpiece for creativity and camaraderie. Quasi’s distinct perspective, unwavering and playful, pits sweet vocal harmonies against dark, off-center, personal lyrics. Throughout their almost 30 year history, Quasi has pioneered countless profound songs that are part fearless folk art and part piranha.
 
The duo is hard at work on their Sub Pop debut, but until then you can catch the band live as they embark on a 28 date North American run, playing shows with Superchunk and Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers. Sam and Janet will be pulling double duty on the dates with Jon Spencer & the Hitmakers, Janet drumming and Sam singing and playing keyboards/synths in both bands. See below for a full list of shows and stay tuned for more information on new music.
