Bio
About ....Crackpot..:.. .... Crackpot was an explosive, mentally guitarded, racket roll band from Montreal that made its debut on September 30th, 2000 and played its final gig on September 8th, 2006. Frantic pop with wonky twists and brain damaged guitar solos played with cathartic enthusiasm and a healthy disregard for current trends. Crackpot has a 12 song CD available... -

Sounds Like
For what it's worth, we have been compared to Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, The Fall, Frank Black, Pavement, Pere Ubu, The Pixies, The Replacements, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Silkworm, Simply Saucer, Sonic Youth, Television, The Velvet Underground, and Frank Zappa... .. I'm not sure I agree with any of those comparisons but I'd like to think that the Voidoids comes the closest to Crackpot's aesthetic. So far, we have covered songs by Syd Barrett, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, The Damned, The Dream Syndicate, Nick Grant, Michael Jackson, Tom Jones, Jr Walker and the All Stars, The Kinks, Johnny Mathis, The Monochrome Set, Elvis Presley, The Subhumans, T.Model Ford, Larry Williams, and Neil Young.

***I hope you had the most wonderful time! You rock!!! I was in Brooklyn when your event was taking place Chris. Thinking of you, and if you get a chance I will be doing a short set on the 30th at Le Cagibi if you feel like comming by. I might be one of the first acts of 4 to go on. Looking forward to hearing your newsxoxoJordi***
