It’s Friday – time for some videos. I think anyone who is paying attention knows that I am a massive Fastbacks fan- I flew to Seattle to see them play SubPop’s 30th anniversary show in 2018. I had never seen Thee Sgt Major, which was Kurt Bloch’s band that he formed after the Fastbacks broke up and went through the 2000’s decade pretty much. They had Jim Sangster from Young Fresh Fellow and Mike Musberger from The Fastbacks, Posies and tons more. There were multiple vocalists including Leslie Beattie- Discogs isn’t making finding all of them easy and I am not digging through the record collection- gotta work.
Anyway, Thee Sgt Major played a show for Peter Ellenby in SF, where they are assembling all versions of the band.. calling it SGT Major 6(VI). It takes an act of nature to get me to go to SF anymore, but this was enough. I had originally requested the edit to be made with a rebalanced soundboard, but I wasn’t totally happy with the sound so I matrixed it with the DPA audio I had. Enjoy!
