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.

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.

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:

TFUL282 did a surprise show last night at a small venue in Portland, Oregon called Turn Turn Turn, and they're doing another one tonight at the same place. There was live steaming last night of the on Instagram at turnturnturnpdx, and hopefully tonight as well. You can see at least some of last night's show at the club's Intagram site but the video is sideways for some reason. Bass player Anne wasn't able to make the shows but Brian, Mark, Hugh and Jay were there. Last night's setlist is at setlist.fm

I never thought they would ever do any more shows. I hope they do some more with advance notice so I can be there.

Any chance they pop up next to my place in France (not Paris) with them noticing it to me so that I could see them?
My first record was The Natural Finger. The name caught my eye, but what made me purchase it was the post-it the record store had sticked to it. Usually it would say that such band's sound was somewhere between Mudhoney and Nirvana, or Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr (the second Superchunk EP), or a couple of weeks later Sonic Youth and Superchunk...
Here nothing that obvious : Sonic Youth and the Shadows were mentioned... What!?
Bought it, listened to it, fell in love with Narlus Spectre and purchased albums when I could find some
I really love their last one, Bob Dinners...

Probably not much of a chance of them coming to your corner of France unless there's a big enough music festival that could pay enough to make it worth their while to cross the pond, like they did for All Tomorow's Parties in 2011.

In any event, here's the August 10, 2024 gig:

And here's the August 11, 2024 gig:

Granted, the sound quality isn't great. But it's way better than nothing.
