That sounds great. I’ll check it out.

@SKT The Smithereens are currently doing shows with Marshall Crenshaw,I think,in the band with them. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[popvulture]

Whoa, that sounds like a great fit. Love Marshall.

[Jett129]

I went to their site and confirmed that he’s touring with them as a guest singer.

[SKT]

@Jett129 Thanks for the heads up!  I got on the site and unfortunately they’re not playing anywhere near me (per the norm for lots of my favorites).  I really love Marshall.

@Jett129 That’s great!  Marshall’s guitar is killer and I’ve always loved Jim Babjak’s playing. Great band…thanks for sharing.

An all time favorite. 

[popvulture]

Oh man @Jett129 YES, so fucking good.

This one's a fave performance — Marriott has such a fierce energy. 3:08, PHEW.

[Jett129]

@popvulture Thank you,Thank you. Just loved it. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen it. Any idea as to what guitar he was playing?

[Jett129]

Here’s another for you. Crank it up. On a side note I,actually, got to play on that drum set as Jerry Shirley had sold it to a studio I was rehearsing at.   

[popvulture]

Oh man, so killer! Love it!

That guitar is apparently just a standard telecaster modded with a P90 in the neck pos. Ridiculously cool lookin.

@Jett129 How have I never heard The Small Faces!?  Incredible. I get educated about one thing or another just about every day on this forum. Love it

[Jett129]

They eventually became Rod Stewarts back up band,as in Rod Stewart and the Faces. You probably know this.

[mclaincausey]

Rod Stewart is going on tour in the US with Cheap Trick opening.

[Jett129]

That tour was originally scheduled 2 years ago. I've been a huge Cheap Trick fan since the very beginning,but,for me, it's just not the same without Bun E Carlos.

[mclaincausey]

That's how I feel about Little Feat without Lowell George @Jett129

[popvulture]

Little Feat without Lowell is an absurd idea, but then again I guess plenty of bands did such a thing after losing an integral (or flat-out defining) member.

Cheap Trick without Bun E. is also a wild idea.

But yep, looooove the Rod version of Faces, also Rod's early solo stuff like Every Picture Tells a Story. Oh and the Jeff Beck shit! Rod is underrated imo.
