Hey Kalamazoo, Who Remembers The Band FAQ?
One thing I really like about Kalamazoo is that for years, it’s been a hotbed for creative and fun music. Not only do we have tons of awesome music venues but we also have a strong local scene. Hopefully once this pandemic is over, will be seeing a lot more local shows again. I’m also a fan of hitting up the record stores and seeing what gems I can come across. Yesterday, one such thing happened.
Strangely enough I was in a pawnshop going through the record collection when I came across a record by a band called FAQ which is an acronym for Foolish American Quartet. The record was actually sealed and had never been bought. When I turn it over I realized this was a Kalamazoo band because of where the post office box was marked as. Then I discovered that the album itself was recorded at Wayside West in 1989. There was no way I was going to pass this up.
