CRACKER is best known for their platinum-selling 1993 album, Kerosene Hat, featuring the hit songs "Low", "Eurotrash Girl", and "Get Off This".Founders Lowery and Hickman formed the band in 1991, soon releasing the album Cracker (featuring the hits "Happy Birthday to Me" and "Teen Angst") on Virgin Records. The band has been touring continually ever since, releasing 10 studio albums (plus several compilations, collaborations and live albums), including most recently, the 5/5/09 album Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey on 429/Savoy Records. Cracker mixes influences and sounds ranging from rock, punk, alt-country, psychedelia, blues, and folk.Lowery, in the mid-80s, in Santa Cruz, California, formed Camper Van Beethoven (CVB), and their “Take the Skinheads Bowling†became an instant college radio staple. When CVB disbanded on tour

in Sweden, following their second major label release, Lowery formed Cracker with his longtime friend ny Hickman. (The pair had met on the local music scene as teenagers in Redlands, CA.)

Cracker’s emergent sound had less in common with Camper’s exotic excursions and was more in synch with the Kinks and Southern roots music. They released their self-titled debut on Virgin, and following the #1 Modern Rock hit “Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now)â€, the band became a minor commercial sensation (complete with then-significant MTV exposure). The platinum-selling Kerosene Hat contained the enormous, era-defining hit single “Low,†as well as “Get Off This,†and “Eurotrash Girl.†When the dust settled, Cracker found themselves with an ever-growing, devoted following both in the U.S. (where fans refer to themselves as Crumbs) and throughout Europe. Today the band stays well connected to yet another generation of fans via internet, many of whom were kids when these alt-rock godfathers were first ruling rock radio. Sources:
