thinking fellers union local #282
i heard of them ages ago and always thought the band name was pretty odd, finally got around to listening to them the other day and the few songs i've heard are great, sort of pere ubu meets polvo or something..
anyway, just wondered if there's any fans on here with album recommendations and suchlike. |
TFUL282 are rad. i like them a lot, but my friend alex likes them even better.
|
great band which i first heard of here, the song about the turtle is great
|
heh yeah, my pal the tortoise? that was the first song i heard. i might get the album that's from then.
|
did they name themselves after the REM song?
|

oh how i love em sooooooooooooooooooo all the union albums are pure weird gold! i sold my vynil copy of mother of all saints a while back cuz i was too broke and what a mistake i did, never found a copy since and i mis it so much.... and yeah , my pal the tortoise is from stranger from the universe and that is a classic must get record, hell, its a masterpiece |
A very interesting and impossible to pigeonhole group.

Very good news on the Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 front. A vinyl reissue program of all of their albums and EPs is underway. Also, the band has a new Instagram page and digital offerings of their music for sale on their bandcamp page. Further details can be found on their website: www.tful282.com
The band hasn't played live since 2011. While I hope this recent activity might mean a reunion tour in the not too distant future, I'm not counting on it. I do hope they make some $ from these endeavors and maybe make a few new fans. Hmm, the first post on this thread in over 16 years. Wonder if that's some kind of record. |
What a fucking great band. Stoked for the vinyl reissues

Interview with Mark Davies from TFUL282 in which he discusses at length the band's history, the recent vinyl reissues of Strangers From The Universe and Admonishing The Bishops, and the next planned reissue: a compilation of b-sides, rarities and unleased stuff. The interview is long but worth it:
