THE NOT QUITE
My Tina and the Total Babes album, She’s So Tuff was one of the first records that I cleaned up after the storm – it was among the first 19 that also included an album by the UARB for May 2010, the Not Quite – and I used to get funny looks when I mentioned the band name to friends as I was telling them about records that went through Hurricane Katrina that I was now playing. My Trashwomen.album was also among the early ones; it was in the third group of 19.

I play the albums by the UARA’s and UARB’s frequently and am always struck by how great they sound. With few if any exceptions, they aren’t just another hard rock band or garage rock band or folk/rock artist – they have a distinct sound that I simply love. For many – such as Beast (whose first album is playing now), the Not Quite, the Ugly, the Unknowns, Chimera, and Thomas Anderson, to name a few – they don’t sound like anyone else that I am familiar with.
