Cracker
9:30 Club

Cracker! Yay! I have loved Cracker since 'Cracker Brand' came out but this was my first time seeing them live. [I've seen David Lowry with Camper van Beethoven several times though.]
They put on a great show - covering all the 'hits' and (of course) a bunch of songs from their just-released album 'Greenland.' I love Cracker. I would like to see more rock bands incorporating the accordion though. I just realized during the show that Lyapis Trubetskoy is the Belarussian Cracker equivalent, which probably why I love them so much.
The following people get no love: drunk post-frats who yell 'Git er done!' during the show; really really tall guys who stand right in front of me and then keep backing into me; people who stand in the front at a concert with their back to the stage talking really loudly to their friends.
