We didn't ask the bands to say
these nice things about us, they just did. So come
on down to Cranky's and experience the unexpected.
The
Wandering Sons "I think Cranky Pats is becoming one
of the happiest places on earth for adult music enthusiasts.
We had such a great time with everyone at the show,
and I hope to spend many more nights in the 'Cranky
Pats haze of pleasure.'"
The Bottle
Rockets
"We pull up to the club, and find out it's a
Pizza parlor. Yikes. Has it come to THIS??? Walk to
the front door, and there's a big sign that says "SOLD
OUT".
Hmmmm...
Get inside, and don't see a stage. Just a TINY bar,
and, in the next room, a pizza restaurant. Everyone
in the place is treating us like kings. Instantly
offering us drinks, food, whatever. Turns out, there's
another room, with a stage in the corner, and at 9
o'clock, they take all the tables out, close the doors
leading into it, which seals it off from the restaurant.
THEN, they have a retracting wall, that opens up into
the tiny bar, creating a L-shaped room, with the stage
at the corner of the "L". VERY clever!
Anyway...
THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW SINCE ZOYSIA WAS RELEASED!!!
(note from Cranky's: Zoysia
is their new album on Bloodshot
Records) Just incredible. You could not have squeezed
another body in there. People goin' wild. Guys jumpin'
up and down, girls trying to dance between the guys
jumping up and down. Every person in there knew all
of our songs. We were getting requests from every
album. Just amazing. It totally reminded me of old
Uncle Tupelo shows, in Cicero's basement bar. Right
down to the smell of pizza in the air. Just incredible.Neenah,
Wisconsin. Go figure. I can't help but think of all
the shitty shows we've had, over the years, and how
many times we drove past Neenah, Wisconsin, on our
way to some MUCH smaller, FAR less appreciative audience.
Neenah, we love you.
The
Drams
"Did not know what to expect in Neenah, Wisconsin
the last night (of the tour). It's been a long time
since some of us have been in the area. That being
said, f**k-wow what a good time. That's right, f**k-wow.
F**K-WOW! Glad to see that Cranky Pat is not so cranky
as advertised! Oh, we will be back."
Backyard Tire Fire
"It was nice to find out how many cool people there are and how many cool people we already know up there. There was a free keg of beer for the audience to take advantage of and the wait staff kept bringing up drinks like we were William Elliot Whitmore or something."
The Knaves
"The show was awesome, and the atmosphere was tremendous!"
Aaron Williams And The Hoodoo
"Everyone go and see a show at Cranky Pats this weekend....you won't be disappointed!"
