Artist's Statement
By Quinn K. Thompson, a life-long Skagitonian
Hello, I am 37 years old, in a band and I have a day job.
I am able to do everything I have ever wanted to do!
I am lucky!
Quinn

NEWS FLASH:
See the collected works of Quinn K Thompson at the
The Garage Sale Gallery, 512 Commercial Ave, on March 19, 2004 running through the end of the month and be sure
to catch the Fanny Alger Revival
featuring Quinn K. Thompson on bass at the
Watertown Pub and Cafe two blocks north later that night.
"Quinn K. Thompson, who bills himself as a Gonzo Starving Artist, has bright,
bold oils for $75 and $150. His plan, evidently, is to work fast and sell
cheap, and make a living at it. I wish him well."

Valley Herald Musical independence
is key to the rockers who make up the local band Fanny Alger. Is that how they
get to jump so high?
Band members are (from left) bassist Quinn K. Thompson,
keyboardist Chris Drake, Shane Gildnes on guitar and drummer Jefferson Kyle.
This point is still hotly debated around the world, but the members of Fanny
Alger make their case by offering the band's MP3's for free, and by remaining
more concerned with art than designer wardrobes. "We do what we want, when we
want, and how we want," says Shane Gildnes, the group's lead singer and guitar
player. Fanny Alger consists of Gildnes, Drake, bassist Quinn K. Thompson, and
drummer Jefferson Kyle.
Talking About Fanny Alger "They're Skagit County punk rock pioneers ... they're
bridging the gap between new wave and gospel music."
