California-based alternative rock band Cracker delivered a show at Gasa Gasa this past Thursday night to a packed house.
The band’s current tour is aimed at promoting their 2014 album, Berkeley to Bakersfield album. The double album serves as a blueprint of sorts, for which the band’s current sound is based –one disc is a straight up rock album, while the other is more alternative-country.
As expected, the set concentrated on the band’s latest tracks, dappled with some of their older tunes.
