so i’m going to see cracker this sunday at the independent and i must say i’m pretty psyched. watching johnny hickman play guitar behind david lowery’s songs is like being served the perfect rock and wry by two of your favorite bartenders.
over the years, the rhythm section has been a pretty fluid thing, but the current band reprises the lineup that first came together in 1996 save for a new bassist who apparently played with roxy music at some point. weird, i know.
anyway, i’ve seen cracker many times and it’s always a fun, rocking show. i should have an audio sample from the show posted some time next week.
coming up on the horizon: apollo sunshine, bettie serveert, golden smog, and the knitters. what a great year for live music so far.
