Jenny Toomey & Kristin Thomson—arguably the two women most responsible for the ceaseless onslaught of incredible indie music in the 1990s due to the Simple Machines Records label and their explosively powerful band Tsunami—go head-to-head-to-head with Discograffiti during an unprecedented 3-hour interview during which they discuss the entirety of their catalog, which thankfully is being reissued today by Numero Group in a lovingly compiled box set entitled Loud Is As. Do yourself a big favor and get yourself one.
Here’s just some of the many things Jenny, Kristen, and I touch on in this podcast:
The story of how and why their label Simple Machines Records came to be;
A track-by-track discographical discussion of everything they’ve ever released;
And why the band finally decided to initially call it a day.
