I was amused to see this on the Beat Happening page on the SubPop
Website (http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/bands_page.php?id=10&PHPSESSID=4cfb1f56145eb59d18df040e1ab7bb54):
"Brett checked out Calvin and Heather playing a show in the Smithfield
Cafe in Arizona and was blown away. He recalled, "They changed the way
I thought about music." A few months later, Calvin and Brett met and
decided to form a band."
The Smithfield Cafe was in Olympia, which is of course in Washington,
not Arizona. It's particularly amusing given the Olympia roots of
SubPop...
The Smithfield was an important spot in Olympia back in the day; it
was the first place the band Wimps played. In a parallel universe
that's vibrating relatively close to this one, Wimps released a record
on SubPop early in its development.
Sincerely yours,
Abe Simpson
