French Quarter at The Smell

Stephen Steinbrink a.k.a. French Quarter from Tempe, Arizona, just put out two albums, neither of which I’ve been able to listen to on my stereo until I figure out some tape deck wizardry.

But this one, Desert Wasn’t Welcome, was recorded at K Records’ Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington, so you know it’s gotta be good.

But I got to hear him play some of the tracks live at The Smell in downtown L.A. last week, along with Key Losers and The Finches. The latter two are still on tour through California, so you can check them out too!
