Artist Biography by Stewart Mason
Seattle punk-poppers the Fallouts never got the
glory of compatriots like the Young Fresh Fellows, Mudhoney, or even the
Fastbacks or Flop, largely because they were a part-time concern
throughout their career. Impressively, they managed to maintain nearly
the same lineup throughout: Dave Holmes on guitar and vocals, Shannon
McConnell on bass, and Dino Lencioni on drums. (McConnell quit the group
for a couple of years in the early '90s; Mudhoney's Steve Turner filled
in on bass until McConnell decided to rejoin in 1993, and also signed
the group to his own Super-Electro label.)
The Fallouts played locally for a couple of years before finally getting around to making a recording, an untitled eight-song demo cassette. Two years later, the Fallouts made their vinyl debut with the Here I Come EP, followed a year later with the Don't Want the Sun EP. These EPs, plus assorted other early songs, including tracks from that demo cassette, were finally released on CD as Here I Come and Other Hits on Estrus in 1993. The year before that, the group, with Turner on bass, had recorded their self-titled full-length debut. A second album, Sleep, followed in 1995. Following the release of Sleep, the Fall-Outs went back onto part-time status, at one point going several years between gigs, but the band returned to the studio in 2003, with new bassist Zaac Aubrey in tow, to record a new album, Summertime.
