Welcome to the official website for Jef Culhane’s band, Resistor.

In 1979 Resistor first appeared and immediately developed an uncanny level of acceptance in the fast changing music scene of the American Midwest. This site is dedicated to a band that has been largely forgotten, even in their hometown, not only keep that memory alive, but also inform people as to the Band’s current revival and upcoming LP. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as the band has!

Paul Westerberg’s actual role within Resistor was indeed short lived, but dates back to years prior. Ultimately, as Paul wanted to continue with The Replacements as his priority, Jef had Paul’s new band open for Resistor, at the Paradise Ballroom in Waconia, MN. Jef ran sound for them, and recorded it from the mixing board while they performed. It was that tape that secured Paul his first record deal.

Each appearance stands the chance of being Jef’s last, due to his failing health. If you ever want to see him, he is still fully able to perform at this time, but the sooner you catch a show the better. There may be a only a few others this summer, if any at all, but they are still dependant of a number of factors, and therefore remain TBA.

Just as Resistor was starting to take off, Jef got a call on an old ad for a drummer that he had posted at Oar FolkJokeopus, a popular record store in south Minneapolis. That call came from Steve Kent, who had just arrived in Minneapolis from his native Duluth. As they chatted, though Jef had already secured a drummer, Tom Frederickson, it was clear Jef and Steve had hit it off. Jef offered Steve an audition with a friend’s band, which Steve attended. The report back was, Wow, this guy is GREAT! In almos...

Reunions were talked about sporadically years later, but the group now lives again as Jef’s vehicle for his original material, and Steve is again providing the backbone from the drum throne. There are plans for a potential Classic Line Up reunion in the summer of 2013. Stay tuned to this site’s homepage for details, should it come together!

The original line up happened by chance. Jef, together with bassist Andy Olson had been struggling for some time to find the right drummer. Singer Flash was waiting in the wings for them to assemble a proper band. On bass, harmony and occasional lead vocal. The original line up played a variety of supposedly low key gigs that ended up with large audiences and overwhelmingly positive reactions. There was a demand for more of what this group had to offer!
