Charlie Crane

I'm in a lot of bands - some might say too many. I also host a podcast. I like mangoes and avocados and gelato. I've got copies of XTC's Oranges & Lemons on CD, cassette and vinyl. Sometimes I break stuff. Buy some music!

Parasites "Eastbound & Down" USA Tour 2015! - Dave Parasite and his 2015 lineup of Parasites (Charlie, Pat and Tony) plan to rock America this summer - but then the van breaks down!

Muchos gracias to Mandie for taking this video from the last night of the Parasites tour! More to come, perhaps...

The penultimate gig of the Parasites/Flamingo Nosebleed summer tour '014 is upon us, and it's a doozy. Come out to Phatheads in Green Bay, WI with $6 in your hand, and you'll also get sets by Rev Norb and The Onions, Spruce Bringsteen, and Ronnie Jay and The Standards. Yeah, I can hardly believe it either.

I am still sweaty from playing a Parasites set, and it's already on YouTube. The Internets are weird.

Tour Tip #9: Do not put band stickers on your van, and definitely definitely definitely do not stencil your shitty band's name on the side. This is an open invitation to get your shit jacked. (This tip comes courtesy of a metal group whose name shall remain nameless with whom we shared venues last night.)

Playing tonight at the Demo with The Haddonfields, Eaten Back To Life and Horror Section. Let's do this, St. Louis!

Epic poster for tonight at Epic Problem in Tampa. Awkward Age, Agents of Dimension X and With Crows open!

Tour Tip #8: Why is Ed Sullivan's closet so big? Because he has a lot of really big shoes.

[charliecrane]

Swamp Cabbage Records has been doin' its thing for 5 years, and are having a ludicrously stacked show tonight at The Peacock Room in Orlando to celebrate. 8 bands for $6? You'd be crazy not to attend.

Tour Tip #7: Don't fall asleep with your fingers out the passenger side window if the driver has control of said window.

[charliecrane]

Starting four days in F-L-A tonight in St. Augustine with The Resonants and Telepathic Lines!

[charliecrane]

Get ready South Carolina - Parasites, Flamingo Nosebleed, Rubrics, Now In 3D and CHUNX are coming tonight for a punk show the likes of which you ain't not never seen. None. Ahem.

[charliecrane]

Tour Tip #6: If you're looking for a good road map, avoid Ayn Rand McNally's Road Atlas Shrugged - it's a lot longer than it needs to be to get its point across.

[charliecrane]

Hey Asheville punks! Parasites, Flamingo Nosebleed and the DiMarcos at the Odditorium tonight....believe it!

[charliecrane]

At the Oddity Bar in Delaware tonight with The Headies & Andysocial and The Antidotes!

[charliecrane]

Tour Tip #5: If you get sick of the band name game mentioned in Tour Tip #3, switch to song titles.
