A while back I had Dave and Hank on to promote the Kickstarter Campaign for the reissue of the first three Craw records. Over the past several months there have been a series of changes to the gameplan, some reunion show announcements and other developments that we will discuss on this episode.For those of you unfamiliar with Craw, I urge you to check this out. If you are a regular Everything Went Black listener, most likely you are into good music and will appreciate what they brought to the table. Craw has mostly been a "musician's band" meaning that they never quite caught on with the casual music fan. Their fanbase mainly consisted of dudes in other bands that played with them and experienced the raw power of their live performance.Their first three albums "Craw", "Lost Nation Road" and "Map, Monitor, Surge" are out-of-print and pretty much impossible to find, so this reissue project that Hank has undertaken is truly something special. Their final album "Bodies for Strontium 90" was released by Hydrahead Records and is still available.This episode is brought to you by SAVAGE GOLD COFFEE #staygold
