Spekki Chris is joined by the Mysterious Emergency Bassman at the bottom end, the inscrutable jazz stylings of Roman Turtev in the rhythm department, and the silken meanderings of Callum Train on things with keys.
Influences
Ancient Mongolian overtone singing forced through an Electro Harmonix Super Space Drum and then re-interpreted by the Carpenters. Cannabis. Mini Cheddars.

Rommy also plays with A Child Rasputin and a bunch of crazy Colombian guys. Spekki is also a member of the secretive North London Kazoo Orchestra.

Hey, Hoss; thanks for adding CrackTown to your roster of glittering showbiz chums. You could have done a lot worse, you know - and maybe you already have.

Just step right up whenever you're in the mood for low-rent acoustic liberalbilly thrills - and keep it gangsta. CrackTown
