This show is now archived. Check it out! David Lowery’s solo debut, The Palace Guards, is out 2/1/11.

Let’s call a spade a spade. Cracker is an awesome band. Johnny’s melodies and David’s knack for songwriting are impeccable. All Knowing Force will ALWAYS promote Cracker. I will ALWAYS go see Cracker when they’re in town. Oh, they’re back in, I believe, May, as direct support to Reverend Horton Heat. Johnny Hickman was a true gentleman while doing our show, and I have nothing but respect for him. After all, his music has been in my ears since I was 13 years old, and if Sunrise in the Land of Milk and Honey is their best album – nearly 20 years into their recording career. Amazing.

The reaction to Cracker from fans outside their cult of die-hard supporters is, “Oh, that band is still around? I thought they only had one hit.” Listen, if you like your rock music a little eclectic and delving into various blues, alternative, and punk subgenres, will sarcastic, ironic lyrics, look no further than these 20 year veterans.

Cracker rocks the Highline Ballroom tonight. They have a new record out and are great live. Tickets are still available and are $23.
