My 1st Gigs w/ Crack The Sky

[Daved]

Hello all,

I've just recently joined a band that some of you may remember from the 70's-80's - Crack The Sky. I was a huge fan of theirs as a kid and I'm totally stoked to now have the gig.

My 1st shows with them will be:

Friday, April 22 @ Club 66 - Edgewood, MD
Saturday, April 23 @ Ram's Head Live - Baltimore, MD.

The Club 66 show is a "warm up" show at a small intimate venue whereas the following night's show is at a much larger venue which typically hosts national acts.

I'll be playing my DCM 4003 as well as an Alembic Scorpion and a Tbird at these shows.

FYI - original CTS bassist Joe Macre was a 4001 player so I'm happy to be bringing a Ric back to the band's sound after all these years.

Anyone in the MD area wishing to attend the Ram's Head show can purchase tickets here:

Congrats on becoming a member of the band Dave.

Wikipedia seems to be a bit out of date though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_the_Sky

Happy for you, Dave. It's exciting to work with people you admire.

[Daved]

Thanks, all.

Yes the Wiki page is in need of an update. Even the official CTS website is out of date. Apparently the admin is a former member and they're trying to get him to relinquish control of the site back to the band. Ahhh, the music biz!

[winston]

The official band website does indeed need updating. I could not find much after 2008.

Btw excuse my manners, welcome to the forum Dave. I am glad that you are a Rickenbacker enthusiast. We have a number of professional musicians that post here.

Hi Dave,


My name is Greg.....I'm a LONGTIME fan of Crack The Sky!!!!! I have quite a few of their albums---yes, vinyl.

I have tix to see you guys in July at Sellersville Pa. Front Row.
I am very much looking forward to this show, as my friend and I have been waiting for and hoping you'd come around.

I'll look for you there!!!!!!
BTW: Animal Notes is my favorite CTS album, and I always thought that was a Rickenbacker 4001 I was hearing on it!!!!!!

Do not drink from the toilet when taking Lyrica

Marc - it sure is. What a blessing!

Greg - that's great that you're coming to the show. Please do come up and say hi if you can. Always good to meet another Ric'ster!

Thanks, guys!

Hi Dave, Congrats on the position. Also being from B-more, I'm a fan of Crack The Sky.
Been to the Club 66. I love it there (Kinda like a "Roadhouse" without the chickenwire!)
Sorry I just saw this thread today....
Talk to you later,
John in Parkville

Hi John,

Always good to meet a local Ric-ster! Will you be attending either of the CTS shows this weekend?

Leaving for a vacation to Maine. Maybe we can catch a show later this summer.
