Thinking Fellers Union Local #282

With this kind of longwinded moniker, it appears likely that Thinking Fellers Union Local #282 could possibly be only a couple of pretentious art-school rejects. Thankfully, that’s pretty not very true — their audio is a cross types of art rock and roll and punk rock and roll, predicated on noodling on organs, electrical banjos, mandolins and large, fuzzed-out electric guitar blasts. The group produced in 1987 in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA and released their initial record Wormed By Leonard independently label Thwart a season afterwards. In 1991, the group produced the jump towards the Matador label, where they released 1991’s critically acclaimed Lovelyville, 1992’s Mom OF MOST Saints and 1994’s Strangers In the Universe. They transferred to Ajax for the next year’s Funeral Pudding and to Communion for 1996’s I AM HOPING It Lands, where they continued to be on the roster for all of those other ’90s despite their insufficient further releases. Nevertheless, they continued to try out sporadic, spontaneous schedules and a fresh record was rumored for the 2001 release.
