Mudcrutch Comes To The Fillmore Tonight

If you can manage to find yourself a ticket, tonight and tomorrow heralds Mudcrutch's arrival at the Fillmore. The band is Tom Petty's (and fellow Heartbreakers Mike Cambell and Benmont Tench) project from before he was a Heartbreaker, and by all accounts it's sounding pretty damn good. You can check out Rolling Stone's review of the new record here, and catch a video of one of the new songs live below....

Mudcrutch (Tom Petty) Reforming, Touring, New Album: Pre-Sale Today

Wow. We have to say we really didn't see this one coming. Tom Petty has apparently decided to reform his first band Mudcrutch, release an album, and go on tour. The only place we've heard any Mudcrutch material at all is on the box set Playback, but from what we can tell it's kinda like The Heartbreakers, with a bit more of a country feel. Regardless, Petty is a pretty masterful showman, so we imagine it'll be a good gig.

The news that's relevant to you? Well, Mudcrutch is playing in Santa Cruz on April 14th, and at the Fillmore on April 16th and 17th. The Fillmore shows go on-sale this Sunday at 10 AM, and there's a pre-sale for Santa Cruz this morning at 10 AM. Click here for the pre-sale. The password is "oink".

Now we're just wondering if he'll grow back the mustache.
