Pretty damn good show, too.<\/p>\n<p>One opening local band, Sleeve, put on a pretty impressive show for a group who&#8217;ve only been around for three months. then some mid-band bits by local anti-heroine Miss Spenard &#8217;94 (kind of a seedy area of town&#8230;you&#8217;d have to know anchorage to understand, I think) and friends, then on to the show.<\/p>\n<p>The critters played three solid sets, opening each one with help from bass player Lonnie Marshall (a name I&#8217;m not sure if I should recognize). Kept the audience moving all the way through, with the back half of the floor dancing, and the front half slamming back and forth in a semi-controlled frenzy. Quite fun, really.<\/p>\n<p>Two things marked this particular show. One, this was a bit of a record-release party, as this was the first Critters performance since they released their first album. Secondly, they invited onstage to help jam with them the person who&#8217;s record label released their album&#8230;I don&#8217;t know the name of the label, but the guest guitarist was none other than Stone Gossard. Made for quite a fun night, and an awesome concert. Great way to start the year off&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who might be interested, Critters Buggin&#8217; played a New Year&#8217;s party up here in Anchorage, Alaska.
