SUMMARY:XPN & Y-Rock Welcome Cracker with Camper Van Beethoven
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: XPN & Y-Rock Welcome Cracker with Camper Van Beethoven=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.phillyfunguide.com/event/detail/61811=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2010-01-13=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2010-01-13=0D=0A=0D=0ACracker, the group that veritably introduced brash irreverence and irony into alt-rock, are back and in top form on their 429 Records debut, Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey. This rich new trove of sharp-witted songs showcases a bristling, late 70's – early 80's power pop punk aesthetic which hits as hard as it did at the band's formation 17 years ago. Eight albums (one platinum and three gold) and a barrel full of anthemic hit songs later, Cracker endures, using their ability to weave decades of influences into an album that is seamlessly riveting.=0D=0A=This past year marked not only the 25th anniversary of the influential rock band Camper Van Beethoven, but also, in many ways, indie music itself - a genre that this Santa Cruz-based band unwittingly (or perhaps wittingly) helped spearhead in the early '80s long before the terms alternative or indie became common hyphen fodder for the word 'rock.'=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:30 pm
