We always enjoy the formation of a new supergroup of classic alternative artists; the newest is Night Crickets with David J. (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes) and multi-instrumentalist Darwin Meiners. The trio were working together on a project, which evolved into the formation of a band with its David Lynch-inspired name.
In this episode of Revenge of the 80s Radio, David J. talks with Chris about Night Crickets, their first album, A Free Society, how they melded together and stories behind some of their tracks. After our conversation, we play their “Candlestick Park” song which centers around a personal story involving the Beatles’ last live concert (at the titular stadium).
