To continue a burgeoning tradition here on crabwalk.com, here’s the fourth installment of Who Dat Drummer?, the regular feature in which, after attending an indie-rock concert, I interpret the appearance of the bands’ drummers via pop-culture references.
Last night, saw the great Belle & Sebastian at the Grenada. My view of the drummer was blocked for pretty much the entire show by bassist (and birthday boy) Bob Kildea, so apologies in advance if my visual referencing is less incisive than usual.
- Belle & Sebastian (Richard Colburn): 95% Peyton Manning, 4% John Kerry, 1% Gheorghe Muresan.
And a bonus installment of Who Dat Guitarist & Second Songwriter?:
- Belle & Sebastian (Stevie Jackson): 80% Chris Parnell, 12% Michael Dell, 8% Elliott Smith.
Alas, got there too late to see the New Pornographers. It is a strict crabwalk.com policy that Who Dat Drummer? is not a game to be played with any percussionist who the author has not personally seen in a concert environment, so Kurt Dahle is safe.
For now.
