QUASI
Quasi is an American indie rock band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1993 by former spouses Sam Coomes (vocals, guitar, rocksichord, various keyboards, bass) and Janet Weiss (vocals and drums). Joanna Bolme performed and recorded with the group as a bassist from 2007 to 2011. (More from Wikipedia)
Sleater-Kinney released a second album on Chainsaw Records, Call the Doctor which brought the band greater renown; this is probably around the time that I read the article on the band in Indianapolis. Shortly thereafter, Sleater-Kinney was signed by a record company headquartered in the heart of riot grrrl territory in Olympia, WA having the delightful name of Kill Rock Stars. With Janet Weiss as the new drummer (originally in Quasi), each of their four albums for this label seemed better than the last, culminating in One Beat (2002).
