Report: THE BLACK CROWES Following Croweology Set, Tour With Indefinite Hiatus
April 21, 2010, 14 years ago
Rolling Stone has issued the following report from David Fricke:
THE BLACK CROWES are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their multiplatinum debut album, 1990's Shake Your Moneymaker, with new music and a major US tour, then a disappearing act.
In August, they will release a studio album, Croweology, a two-disc set of fresh acoustic recordings of hits and deep-catalog songs from across the band's career. That month, the Crowes also embark on a four-month tour, performing three-hour concerts nightly, divided into acoustic and electric sets.
But after the final dates, six nights in December at the Fillmore in San Francisco, the Crowes' current lineup - the founding brothers, singer Chris and guitarist Rich Robinson, original drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Sven Pipien, guitarist Luther Dickinson and keyboard player Adam MacDougall - are going on an indefinite hiatus.
The official title of the tour: Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys.
"Two years, five years, 10 years - you never know when you jump into the void," Chris says cheerfully, when asked how long he expects the band to be away. "This cycle we've been on has been incredible. Since the summer of '07, when we made Warpaint, it's been the three most fulfilling years I've ever had with this band."But if we kept going, we might be playing with fate too much," he adds. "It would be nice to have a 30th anniversary. But we should walk away from this while everyone's in a good mood."
