	Cracker - Band - Bio
		CVB was the only band going that could, for example, finesse the relevant weird tension out of Black Flag's "Wasted" by slowing it down with a honky-tonk beat and adding a half-schizoid violin, and in David Lowery had a singer whose bong-loaded Zen-punk lyrics resonated no matter how puzzling and surreal they got.
		Cracker may be considered a somewhat traditional rock band (almost comparable to roots rock at times), yet singer/guitarist David Lowery's roots were anything but traditional since he fronted the '80s alternative outfit Camper Van Beethoven.
		The band recently began work on a new batch of songs, to be released in early 2006.

		The easily identifiable band, known for drenching its music with American colloquialisms and a twisted, ironic sense of humor, is back on the road in support of two recent releases — one with Colorado’s own Leftover Salmon.
		While the band’s name may be uncomplicated, describing its music is. Hickman explained, “the music of Cracker is difficult to classify.
		He added that Jerry Garcia, who expressed to band members he was pleasantly surprised by their performances, had Cracker open because he was a fan of “Euro Trash Girl,” one of the band’s defining tunes.

	Cracker: Forever - PopMatters Music Review
		Cracker front man David Lowery says that Cracker seeks to be egalitarian in their approach to creating fresh, independent rock music, and that approach extends to the band itself.
		The band is a flexible five-person unit, but generally brings in guest musicians for its recordings.
		In addition, the band's members, both permanent and charter, have the freedom to work on numerous outside projects, as evidenced by the proliferation of URLs leading to individual members' Web sites in the CD booklet.

	Cracker (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cracker is an American alternative rock band fronted by former Camper Van Beethoven singer David Lowery, with guitarist Johnny Hickman.
		The band's website once noted Cracker as "The only band to ever open for both The Grateful Dead and the Ramones," a unique distinction which is also indicative of the band's sound and style.
		Cracker comfortably mixes influences and sounds ranging from classic country music, psychedelia, punk and folk into their brand of "Americana" style rock.

	Cracker: Gentelman's Blues
		Today, ex-Camper Dave Lowry is the song-writing front man of Cracker, a band that has steadily emerged from the shadows of the deadly moniker, "Novelty Band" and now balances effortlessly between the power-pop of Southern California and a fundamental understanding of the countrified rock and blues that presently arises from the South.
		Cracker consists of David Lowry on guitar and keyboards, Johnny Hickman, a superior guitarist, Bob Rupe on bass, Kenny Margolis on keyboards and with an occasional accordion foray into the mix, and Frank Funaro's impressive drumming which provides for his band a securely anchored foundation from which they frequently take flight.
		It is as if the band desires to show their talent with a minimum of artifice and a maximum of execution.

		There’s also a bit of a country band in Cracker, which appeared in 1992 a couple years after the demise of Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker front-man David Lowery’s previous alt-rock outfit.
		Rest assured, the band you’ll hear this weekend at the Hilton will be Cracker, playing not only songs from “Countrysides,” but from the five previous studio albums as well.
		Cracker isn’t fretting about the loss of a major-label ally, which itself has destroyed many bands.

	Tucson Weekly : music : Cracker Crumbs
		Bands that had recorded albums on corporate dollars were told there just wasn't money in the budget to actually release them, and acts that hadn't produced albums that landed solely in the fl wouldn't be given a chance to take another stab at it.
		Cracker, the country-tinged straightforward rock band led by singer/guitarists David Lowery, formerly of Camper Van Beethoven, and Johnny Hickman, formerly of a bunch of supposedly decent bands you've never heard of, was one of the survivors.
		A few other Tucson-related factoids about Lowery: Before Cracker was called Cracker, the band played a show at Club Congress as the David Lowery Band, because Tucson was one of the few cities where people would recognize Lowery by name from his Camper days.

		Noise Is 'Golden': Cracker shreds the pretensions of rockers everywhere on its "Golden Age" release.
		CRACKER'S THIRD album, The Golden Age, boasts a number of slow ballads, including the title cut, "Big Dipper" and "I Can't Forget You." Lyrically, it's not as young as most of the modern-rock bands you hear on the radio, nor is it as--well, trendy.
		Certainly, it says something profound about Cracker that it was able to discuss slots on both Lollapalooza and the HORDE tour, before turning down both.

		Cracker’s self-titled 1992 debut was a moderate hit, complete with the college-rock anthem, "Teen Angst (What the World Need’s Now).” 1993’s follow-up, Kerosene Hat, yielded a surprise commercial charter with the song "Low," and temporarily catapulted the band into spotlight-fame.
		Cracker was brought back into the jam band consciousness in 2001, when moe.
		Cracker further re-embedded themselves in the jam band world when Hickman jammed with Widespread Panic, on harmonica and mandolin, in Phoenix, Arizona (10/22/01).

		A lot of it, though, just sounds like the band has entered self-parody mode, which is a dangerous place for a band to exist.
		When bands run out of creative ideas, that's a sign that they might not be around for much longer.
		After all, David Lowery was in Camper van Beethoven in the 1980's, and that band's trend-setting blend of punk, country, folk, weird stuff from the 60's and pop sensibilities made it one of the more creative bands around.

		The show was a success and the band asked, "What would Cracker sound like if it were a country band?" This was an interesting question for a band that draws so much from Americana and country music.
		The band decided that the only way to answer this question properly was to get out and play some more shows.
		In the film, it's explicitly clear that the band made this record against the backdrop of a coming war, resurgent American imperialism and a far-right Christian fundamentalist regime in Washington DC.

	Cracker - about
		A lot of the songs are about being in a band; self-mocking our complaints, and celebrating the weird stuff that needs to be celebrated.
		Lowery co-starred in director Eric Drilling's independent film "River Red" (screened at Sundance to good response, and due for autumn 1998 distribution by Castle Hill in a limited New York and Los Angeles release), and filmed his second feature "This Space Between Us" with director Matt Leutwyler in summer 1998.
		With the release of Gentleman's Blues, Lowery and Hickman unveil a new collection of music in the grand Cracker tradition: blending rock 'n' roll, acerbic humor, cool guitars, and just enough immature volatility to prevent anyone from mistaking them for full-fledged grown ups.

		It all began when guitarist R.L. Heyer met percussionist Denali Williams (or the sperm met the egg...we'll let you decide which is which) while attending junior high school in a small town in Eastern Washington.
		Forced to play an hour-long version of Coltrane's "Impressions" because there was a line of horn players out the door waiting to play, the future Cracker Factory employees had ample time to realize this configuration was meant to be.
		Since Cracker Factory's official establishment in the spring of 2003, it has kept up a vigorous performing schedule in venues all across the Pacific Northwest (U.S.A.) stretching from the Northern most borders of Washington, to Oregon and Idaho.

	Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker/MOD
		That left frontman/rhythm guitarist David Lowery to his own devices: after a couple of years off, he resurfaced as the leader of the snottily commercial, Stones-style rock band Cracker.
		Their country-western influences are more Western than country, which is a definite plus; the rhythm section is really solid; Greg Lisher plays some tastefully understated lead guitar; and with the band's original violinist having recently left, they recruit two fine players to fill in.
		As for the sound, it's a slick blend of hard rock a la the Stones and 70s CHR backing vocals a la Foreigner ("This Is Cracker Soul"), plus the obligatory pissed off nihilistic lyrics designed to appeal to teenagers ("Don't Fuck Me Up (With Peace And Love)").

		They were the headline band and some little band by the name of "Counting Crows" opened for them.
		To finish up the show, the band played some songs off of their latest album, Gentleman's Blues, including "Been Around the World." The show and encore, which went until 2:30 am, was not just the best Cracker concert I have attended, but one of the best concerts I have seen.
		Furthermore, the band dipped into their entire catalog of songs, and played for close to 3 hours.

		A year later, Cracker issued their best-known album, Kerosene Hat, which spawned the popular MTV/rock radio hit "Low." But by the time of their third release, 1996's The Golden Age, Faragher had been replaced with Bob Rupe, while the drum spot was occupied by a trio of players: Charlie Quintana, Eddie Bayers, and Johnny Hott.
		They issued a live set in 2001, Traveling Apothecary Show & Revue, while a year later Cracker issued their fifth and sixth studio albums overall, Forever (2002) and a rowdy set of country covers called Countrysides in 2003.

		Cracker's David Lowery sauntered onstage Tuesday night equipped with a peculiar shit-eatin' grin and some extra crunch in his Tennessee-whiskey vocals.
		Not that the lead singer is usually a surly bastard, but there was obviously something special going on inside that scruffy blond melon.
		Perhaps he was jazzed to be in proximity to his makeshift home of Richmond, Va. Or maybe the former Camper Van Beethoven cut-up was relieved to still be performing for sold-out crowds after Cracker's last effort, The Golden Age, took a swan dive into the commercial crapper.

		I’m the guy who asked you what the criteria are for indoor bands at the campout when you were signing, and that’s why.
		It was amazing, to see live Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven, Monks Of Doom, Victor Krummenacher, Greg Lisher, Johnny Hickman and Chris LeRoy, (I was sadly in jetlag sleep during Jonathan Segel’s set), LP, Roger Clyne…, and to meet up with the band, their families, friends and fans.
		Deep dark lyrics, this one grabbed me immedietely, and has continued to grow on me! I have not really been a Cracker fan for very long, but I really dig their material, their live show, and I should also mention that the bandmembers seem to be really good folks.

	Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: Cracker - Get On With It: The Best of Cracker
		Live the band does all their fan favorites and puts on a good show, nothing flashy, no jumping around or guitar spins, just straight-ahead rock and roll with a country feel.
		Get On With It: The Best Of Cracker does indeed provide us with a look at this unique band in their prime and answers the question of "What is Cracker soul?" It's a twisted form of roots country presented in a solid rock drive that you can't help but groove to and dig.
		I love Cracker, and though there was no reason for the greatest hits CD release of the same name, that came out as well, this DVD definitely looks like a must have for Cracker fans.
