The crunch bunch

Next up, Muffler Crunch. I feel like it's been a long time since I've seen the band in action, after a couple of years of semi-regular attendance at their shows. Yup, July 2008 was the previous occasion, according to ye olde posts. They certainly haven't slowed down any, judging from this show. Granted, there wasn't the usual post-set destruction, but the Avant-Garde's close quarters, and a following band probably made that unavoidable.

Muffler Crunch prepare for takeoff.



Hmm, Old Sparky has a few extra pickups and dials and whatnot!



Angie hits!



Fisheyed Luc action!

Who, me?



Running about!

Luc takes a stand.



And a knob-twisting finish.



Their next show is January 14 with Gypsy Chief Goliath at Mavericks. They've also recently wrapped up the video for Wagons Ho!
