Who you callin' Cracker?

Cracka.

We got the official news the other day that we'll be opening up for Cracker at Cubby Bear in about a month (August 26 to be exact). Needless to say, we're very excited. Cracker's lead singer, David Lowery, is one of the more prolific songwriters of the last two decades or so, fronting Camper Van Beethoven before moving on to the greener (moneywise) pastures of Cracker in the early 90's.

He's incredibly witty and has a way of being simultaneously ironic and sincere, no easy task. Camper is Doc's favorite band and their bass player, Victor Krummenacher, is playing this tour with Cracker. I saw a reformed Camper (with Lowery) play at Metro last year, and all I can say is that these guys are one of the tightest live bands I've ever seen, probably due to the fact that they've all spent the last twenty years on the road.

So this show seems to be a can't lose situation... Cracker with special guest Burn Rome Burn.

I like the sound of that.
