Who the f*** would thumbs down?! Well, each to their own: I was living in the U District in Seattle, 1987: just turned 18 y.o. I moved down from Bellingham, WA w/my best friend at the time, Scott. It was a wicked winter with a plural-inch snow storm to boot (as we drove my buddy's dad's truck down I-5 S). We were invited down by Konnie Kindlund (one of my best friends from Bellingham, WA - he would later form the Kent 3 & tour the U.S with Marc Harm & Mudhoney. Shameless plug for Konnie (aka Viv Halogen) Kindlund & his band from time's past: if you are really into the whole Seattle, late 80s, Grunge scene; around the time when Jane's Addiction & Guns & Roses first introduced themselves on the major label scene, well, it was quite an experience, & you should check out the Kent 3 (personally, I like their waves better than MH's - no disrespect guys). I was fortunate to live in the house where Nate Johnson (drummer for Fastbacks, shown above in this video) either practically lived or rented a room. I have great memories of drinking late into the a.m hours with Konnie & Nate, Nate showing me a few moves on the set up in the basement. Martin McClellan, Joey Kline's band Prudence Dredge practiced there as well (he'd let me sit in on practices: this was at a time when I'd been writing music for about a year, year & 1/2, & I learned a lot just from watching how Joey would introduce a new song, see what his mates thought, etc. "Thanks Joey!") We all lived there, partied, worked, played, wrote & loved every breathing minute of it. It's my turn, it's my time, it's my tempo! John Schutte
Love Kim's white Fender Jazz Bass Special with the green sticker. Definitely some heavy Duff McKagan influence going on. I wonder if Duff gave it to her, as he also had a brief stint as their drummer. Also, love it that Kurt and Duff are reuniting for Max Creeps.
Who needed grunge? We had the Fastbacks FIRST ❤
Fastbacks, Crocodile Cafe, endless pints of Red Hook ... good times!
I always had the biggest crush on Lulu.
Saw them open for POTUSA in Cleveland 1996 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Stumbled upon one of their albums a decade ago.. loved it.. now only just discovering all their true perfect genius… love from Sydney Australia..
Fastbacks rule forever.
I heart Lulu

Konnie Kindlund was my best friend for a few years. I love that man.
Under-rated band that I am happy to have discovered during their Sub Pop years. 👍
wow, thanks for uploading this! best band ever!
It's not fair how much I love this band and want to inhale their very essence.
Used to watch them at Harpos....such fun days....
