On today's episode, I talk to musicians Jenny Toomey and Kristin
Thomson of the band Tsunami. Tsunami formed in Arlington, VA in
late 1990, when Jenny and Kristin were housemates at Arlington,
Virginia’s legendary punk-activist Positive Force house. Over the
next seven years, Tsunami wrote and recorded prolifically,
releasing three full-length albums (Deep End, The Heart's Tremolo
and A Brilliant Mistake) and over a dozen seven-inch singles and
EPs, most on their own Simple Machines label. And next week Numero
Group will release Loud As Is, a 5-LP box set reissue of their
entire catalog, and buddy, you better believe it's great!
