<\/a><\/p>\nBuilding on the cult-classic success of Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker exploded onto the American alternative rock scene in the 1990s, taking irreverent fun and irony to new heights. Today, Cracker continues to turn out new music with inspiration coming in all forms from The Kinks to the Grateful Dead. \u00a0Now, the U.S. Embassy has invited Cracker to carry the American rock torch for China to enjoy at intimate, club-level venues. The band will make their rounds in Shanghai on June 27 and Beijing on June 28. Their first time in China, they aim to prove how they earned platinum and gold albums over more than 20 years of successful music-making.<\/h6>\n
With eight albums under their belt, Cracker are known for a range of gritty, rock-out hits, like \u201cLow\u201d which is called by\u00a0Spin Magazine,<\/i>\u00a0\u201ca ubiquitous signpost of the\u00a0alternative-as-the-new-mainstream era\u201d and appeared in the movie\u00a0Wolverine<\/i>\u00a0last year. You\u2019ll also hear American music influences ranging from rock, to blues, to country, and even a bit of punk. \u00a0Sarcastic songs like \u201cTeen Angst (What the World Needs Now)\u201d and \u201cI Hate My Generation\u201d deliver audiences a sharp-wit that will have them fist-pumping in the air, smiles on their faces.<\/h6>\n
Leading a rock band with a conscience, Cracker front-man David Lowery hopes to raise awareness in China about intellectual property rights and musician\u2019s ownership of the music they create. Come and experience the magic.<\/h6>\n
