Crankshaft ~ Live at the Doubledoor
Friday night at the Doubledoor in Chicago I caught up with some Crankshaft.
If you dig the blues you'd dig this guy.
Alex Larson is 'Crankshaft'... a one man blues band comin' from Minneapolis...
and you thought fumblin' with all your camera's buttons in the dark took coordination?
You gotta see this guy do what he does!
I watched the dude play two drums, the cymbals, a tambourine, a guitar and a kazoo while singing!
I don't know how to explain how he played the kazoo while singing but he did.
He was watching me drink a beer and shoot him with my Nikon.
That took everything I got.
A 'one man band' is a pretty interesting show.
You can't exactly run around on stage because your feet are workin' the drums.
Alex's playin' was great and his vocals were strong... he had a great sense of humor... and I really just watched him while I shot and wondered how in the hell he could do all that.
All at once.
That's some serious 'zen'... to be able to keep all of that shit straight...
It's kind of crazy.
Crankshaft is like a blues playin', suit wearin' voodoo dancer.
The show was a riot... the crowd was lovin' it and the place was rowdy and loud.
Everything a Friday night in the Chi-Town should be.
You couldn't help but be feelin' the love.
