"If I don't get rich I'm gonna find another way to make a living. I know a lot about finance. Don't worry about me," observed Chris Crofton last night. Oh, we're not. Chris Crofton and the Alcohol Stuntband, playing Saturday night at the Basement in support of their new self-titled EP, seem to know exactly what they're doing. But let's back up a bit.

Firstly, we must apologize for missing Take the Power Back, the all-female Rage Against the Machine cover band. It's just as well, really. We're not very familiar with the Rage Against the Machine oeuvre. The band's virtuosity and passion would have been wasted on us; our penetrating critical intelligence would have been wasted on them.
