CRATER TATER 12.23.2011 full show video, yo!

y0!  happy new year! 
we, the taters of the crater, played our 1st show w/ our new drummer, Twisted Tater, on 12.23.2011(watch it in its entirety HERE !!).  we are excited about the presence of the new tater, for he has worked diligently on the material and  brings hard-hitting enthusiasm to our tuberous table of musicka.  the set currently consists mostly of material from "Primera..." (5 out of 6 songs...no G.T.S...yet....) + Duck Shit...& we're developing and shapeshifting a few other things.... 
(L to R: Scalloped Tater a.k.a. Jim Ivy, Twisted Tater a.k.a. Chris Bishop, Mashed Tater a.k.a. Grudakris, Fried Tater a.k.a. Les Stover and Tater Totsky a.k.a. Dan Reaves.  photo by Alan Clark and effected by Mashed ).

we are confirmed to play a free concert on april 28th at plaza theatre!...stay tuned fer more updates (our facebook page is the best place to go for up-to-date CxTx noticias:  w w w . f a c e b o o k . c o m / c r a t e r t a t e r ).
