Phantom Tollbooth were participants of the 1st generation of what is now historically recognized as the American Independent Underground. Conceived in 1984, the band released several recordings on Homestead Records, touring both the U.S. and Europe until they disbanded in 1988. During their tenure, PT played shows with The Minutemen, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Big Black, Butthole Surfers, Volcano Suns and many others. At the appointment of Robert Pollard, the band reunited for one show, opening for Guided By Voices during their farewell tour in December 2004.
Thanks for the add! I was in a band C.O.A.(comedy of airs) and we opened for you at a small basement show in Eugene Oregon about 1985. It was fun and PT ripped!
appreciate being added to the One Way Conversation(s)! please, yes, lay some tracks from that LP somewhere for us...that album stands as my all-time favorite post-jazzcore, dimensional-bending music since coltrane...yah!
