Marshall Crenshaw & Bottle Rockets rock Lafayette
by JJKANDLAK on 4/9/16Lafayette Theatre - LafayetteFirst visit to Lafayette Theatre, a refurbished movie theatre in downtown LFT. St Louis based "Bottle Rockets" were opening act and then backed up MC for his set. Bottle Rockets played their excellent "South Broadway Athletic Club" album in its entirety along with four or five other songs including "Radar Gun", but surprisingly skipped "Indianapolis". I own SBAC on 180 gram vinyl and highly recommend it. Crenshaw opened with "There She Goes Again" and encored with "Crying Time", Someday Someway" and "MaryAnn." MC played a spirited set of oldies along with material from his recent vinyl EP's. About 200 or so in attendance. Its disappointing that more people were there to see these high quality musicians. Saw both acts on the same bill at the HiFi in Indianapolis 13 months ago(March 2015). This pairing is one of the best kept secrets on tour-check them out!
