Brian Amalfitano (Deaf Club)

SPB: You also run a record store (which we’ve discussed). What is your all time favorite record (as in “the full vinyl package”)?

Amalfitano: Wow, that’s a tough one. I mean, I own a record store (Spinning Plate Records) so I have a lot of great stuff always coming through. Stuff I really want to keep but should probably sell to pay the bills with, lol. I think the best find I’ve that ever kept personally was the C/Z Records Deep Six Compilation. Sort of a Holy Grail for me. 

But…I’m a huge Nirvana fan and I dig the noise/lyricism on In Utero. I’d have to go with that one on a desert island for sure. Any versions I’m really excited about the new 30th anniversary edition that’s coming out.

Steven Fairweather (Gob) SPB: How many people mispronounce your name as an Arrested Development reference? Fairweather: HAHA! Not too many actually! I’m sure it’s maybe more of an issue when Googling the band. But we were once out on a run of shows with a band called “Seaway,” so for … Read more
