First/Last – Fortune Teller (Single Premiere)

February 10, 2017

Fortune Teller is a brand new fuzz rock duo from Pittsburgh (consisting of two members of The Incandescents) who are releasing their debut single “Face” exclusively on the blog and celebrating tomorrow Saturday (2/11) playing a gig at Roboto. Much thanks to J.J. Young (Drums) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

  • Favorite thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
  • I love sports, you can’t mention Pittsburgh without sports, a lot of my memories are intertwined with sports. I work at Primantis, I’ve lived here all my life and I never wanna go anywhere. It’s the best place. And the music scene is awesome too.

Thanks, J.J. I shot that McCartney show at Consol but not the first night. I was the only one there photographing the second night which was pretty cool. Being escorted out after song three, not cool.
