@SKT I buy a lot of vinyl through Bandcamp, which is cool because a lot of times it comes directly from the artist. Also, they do Bandcamp Fridays the first Friday of every month, on which they waive their fees and give all the money to the bands. Great stuff.

[SKT]

That sounds great. I’ll check it out.

@SKT The Smithereens are currently doing shows with Marshall Crenshaw,I think,in the band with them. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[popvulture]

Whoa, that sounds like a great fit. Love Marshall.

[Jett129]

I went to their site and confirmed that he’s touring with them as a guest singer.

[SKT]

@Jett129 Thanks for the heads up!  I got on the site and unfortunately they’re not playing anywhere near me (per the norm for lots of my favorites).  I really love Marshall.

[SKT]

@Jett129 That’s great!  Marshall’s guitar is killer and I’ve always loved Jim Babjak’s playing. Great band…thanks for sharing.

An all time favorite. 

[popvulture]

Oh man @Jett129 YES, so fucking good.

This one's a fave performance — Marriott has such a fierce energy. 3:08, PHEW.

[Jett129]

@popvulture Thank you,Thank you. Just loved it. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen it. Any idea as to what guitar he was playing?

[Jett129]

Here’s another for you. Crank it up. On a side note I,actually, got to play on that drum set as Jerry Shirley had sold it to a studio I was rehearsing at.   

[popvulture]

Oh man, so killer! Love it!

That guitar is apparently just a standard telecaster modded with a P90 in the neck pos. Ridiculously cool lookin.

@Jett129 How have I never heard The Small Faces!?  Incredible. I get educated about one thing or another just about every day on this forum. Love it

[Jett129]

They eventually became Rod Stewarts back up band,as in Rod Stewart and the Faces. You probably know this.

[mclaincausey]

Rod Stewart is going on tour in the US with Cheap Trick opening.

[Jett129]

That tour was originally scheduled 2 years ago. I've been a huge Cheap Trick fan since the very beginning,but,for me, it's just not the same without Bun E Carlos.

That's how I feel about Little Feat without Lowell George @Jett129
