CURTISS A - Courtesy LP 80 w Damage Is Done LP 83 w A Scarlett Letter LP 88 w With A Little Help From My Friends CD 99


 REPOST and ADD ON:  You might call him a fine mix of his loco scene homies The Replacements and the early Dave Pirner screams in Soul Asylum.  What I wrote before:  A legend in my old home town who used to do annual 'John Lennon' tribute nights at First Ave club.  I think the many comments over the years for reposting the Scarlet Letter album finally got to me so I got what I could and well worth it!  From Discogs:  Real Name: Curtiss Almsted

Profile: Prominent Minneapolis rocker/shouter from the mid-seventies to present. Guitarist and singer/songwriter, AKA "The Dean of Scream." Occasionally lists himself on the performance credits of related projects under the alias Buzz Barker.

When performing live the bill usually reflects "Curtiss A and (a band)...", as in "Curtiss A and The Jerks Of Fate," but none of his Twin/Tone LPs reflect a backing band by name and all are attributed to the all-encompassing artist name "Curtiss A."

Curtis is one of the few Mnpls. artists from that time that isn't that easy to find on-line. Thanks for this and anything else you could post!
