   CRACKTOWN: General Info
Member Since5/12/2006
Band MembersAN EROTIC APPRECIATION OF CRACKTOWN'S CLASSIC LINE-UP:

For too long now, far too little attention has been paid to the considerable physical charms ot the band that almost nobody refers to as "The Town"; let us bring an end to this unpardonable silence right now.

Consider the lissome form of THE SILVER FOX (harp/hoarse screams) as he whirls and struts the stage like the sexual predator he is. While the finer details of his spare physique are rendered a tantalising mystery by his penchant for long, voluminous coats, his unfettered movements and his labial limberness are, without doubt, a carnival of carnality - step right up, indeed.

Furthermore, cast your greedy, lust-crazed eyes immediately to his right: does not the stern, commanding frame of KING RAT (guitar/vocals) compel the heart and groin to do backflips? Very much so, we're sure you'll agree. While he favours an almost monolithic stillness onstage, the discerning connoisseur of concupiscence will realise that this conceals a dormant volcano of sexual athleticism. Similarly, the sharper-eyed observer will note his long nimble fingers as they dance a mesmerising and frenetic fandango 'cross the frets, hinting at all manner of possibilities. He takes (and fills) a size 12 shoe, too: need one say more?
InfluencesOh, you'd like to know that, wouldn't you? Well, it's not going to happen, right? What, are we here to spoon-feed you? Jesus fucking Christ, if you can't work THAT out for yourselves, go and check out less demanding acts - does the name "Reverend and the Makers" ring a bell?

Hot Cute Layouts and More
I Made my layout at whateverlife.com

Simply and starkly put, your options are as follows:
1) You can embrace the magick and the mystery of CrackTown, welcoming all that is decent, honourable, compassionate in acoustic music into a soul that will blossom forth like a moonstruck orchid of unparallelled beauty, OR:
2) You can die alone, your carcass the latrine for the army of scabrous and malodourous cats that have been your only companions for the declining years of your wasted and pointless life.
It's that simple, cats and kittens: enlightenment and joy through hard-rocking country/blues and liberalbilly schtick, or an eternity of regret and horror. Chew on that for a while.

Everybody Loves CrackTown?

Well, not everybody, obviously; there are bound to be those churls that - through mental aberrations for which they are not to be blamed - are not entirely enraptured by our magnificence. Many are, though, and while we'd love to regale you with a myriad of fulsome reviews, we appreciate that trudging through acres of provincial music journalism may well induce something like an embolism in the right-minded reader. Consequently, we've chosen a rather minimalist approach.

“CrackTown are as crazy as they are clever; somewhere between insanity and brilliance, you’ll find them and their clever set of songs.” – www.thisisull.com

“A two-headed mythological Anti-Folk blues beast…CrackTown are the new musical sheriffs in town and they have the badges to prove it.” – The Luminaire

“..as musicians and songwriters they are both superlatively proficient … yes, they do provide quality laughs, but to pigeonhole them as a comedy act would be to do them a grave disservice.” – Sandman Magazine

“Their very own brand of political, harmonica-driven blues, bristling with sharp lyrics and cutting wit.” - Tenfoot City Magazine

“It’s no wonder that the talented support act were somewhat overshadowed; CrackTown epitomise impact.” – www.thisisull.com

Ha! I see you have used the word 'myriad'. Thanks to the book I bought on poetry, I am aware that the word 'myriad' is a cliche.
Ha!

I have finished mixing Best of British- Rat let me know if you want certain things louder (but bear in mind you are partially deaf), Fox let me know if you like the reverb in the second half of your solo. Have e-mailed it to you.
