Revisiting Young Fresh Fellows
A few years back ago I sort of stumbled into Young Fresh Fellows by following the advice of a good Internet friend, and I’m grateful that I got that intro, though seeing as the band involves Scott McCaughey of Minus Five, and currently The Baseball Project, I should have known already. The group’s been around since the 80s, though there has often been distance between the releases of quirky power-pop. Luckily, Yep Roc is about to release Tiempo de Lujo, the group’s newest record. As they’ve grown older they’ve only gotten better, but since there aren’t any singles from the new LP, I wanted to share a gem off my favorite LP, The Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest. If you love what you hear, do some research and get to know Young Fresh Fellows.

I’ve had a copy of Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest since college (and I’m old), but it’s on cassette and I’ve had nothing I could play it on for probably 15 years.
So thank you. And feel free to post a copy of Big House or the YFF theme song any time.
Bob-I’ve got a copy I can send you if you hit me up at nathan@austintownhall. Always glad to share the classics with folks with good tastes.
