There are some great Crooked Fingers songs but the "Neil Diamond sings Tom Waits" vibe is a bit much

i saw crooked fingers open for neko case and they were p amazing, really won over a crowd that had no idea who bachman was.
some yuppie lady yelled out "YOU'RE AWESOME WHO ARE YOU?" and bachman said "M'am, I'm a grown man" and went into the next song

Just give it a chance if you wrote it off 10 years ago is all I'm saying. If nothing else, attempt to appreciate his instrumental work, which is amazing imo.

― call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link

― ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:02 (thirteen years ago) link
cad - if you see a couple reasonably priced tickets then get me one too and we will divide the cost of all 4 between us. i will prob come down to hang either way. i am in the indifferent bracket wrt to this band.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Friday, 15 April 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I feel like this is definitely going to require a FAP afterwards for all who are interested. We can plan nearer the date but I feel like that would be a good idea.
― ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh wait, I'm going Sunday to the Webster show. :/

Strapping Fieldhands are great too but I went to their show at Cake Shop and the crowd was practically me and the opening acts.

NYC people and those nearby can try to get in and see them play Jimmy Fallon on 6/24. I'll have to settle for watching at home.
