For over three decades, the Portland, Oregon duo Quasi has created unique and poignant indie rock. The band consists of Sam Coomes, on guitar and rocksichord, alongside legendary drummer Janet Wiess.

Last year, Quasi released their 10th album, “Breaking the Balls of History,” on Sub Pop records, and if you missed their Atlanta show in 2023, you’re in luck as Quasi returns to our city this Saturday, June 22, at the EARL.

They’ll perform their beloved 1998 album “Featuring Birds” in its entirety for the first time.

The duo, Janet and Sam, joined “City Lights” producer Kim Drobes to talk about their upcoming show.
