Lost and Found (Richmond) Sounds

Doug Dobey alerted his friends on Facebook about the digitization of a long-lost set of recordings by a long-forgotten Richmond super group – FAFOOT (Famous Actors From Out Of Town).

Comprised of former members of the Orthotonics, Idio-Savant, the Tom & Marty Band, House of Freaks, Sparklehorse, Cracker and Gutterball, FAFOOT made ambitiously composed and arranged instrumental music built on two of the city's best drummers working intricately in tandem.

Their nine-track, limited edition, cassette-only release has finally turned up on the Free Music Archive, and I stand by a comment I made on Dobey's Facebook post: "The first track sounds like a slightly slower, slightly stoned, very noodly version of Breadwinner."

Which makes me think that maybe every band that emerged from Richmond in the late 80s and early 90s sounded like Breadwinner.

Someone tell Greg Darden that it's time to free the Tenderizer/Tenderette recordings...
