Quasi (a.k.a. The Janet Weiss Showcase)

So, I went to the first of two back-to-back Sleater-Kinney concerts this evening, and Quasi was the opener. Janet Weiss, is pulling double-duty playing drums for both Quasi and Sleater-Kinney -- and simply put, she is amazing. I mean, no offense to Sam Coomes, but he could have just been on stage beating his head with a cowbell and Quasi still would have played a good set -- Janet is just that good.

Unfortunately, the #1 drummer spot in my life is currently taken (Danny Carey, of Tool). But every time I see Janet perform, I am more and more impressed. She is really, truly, gunning for that #1 spot...
