The Trusty Knife and Crappy Dracula @ 7 Mile Fair
Saturday, July 26, 2008
The
show idea started as bar talk between the two bands and quickly escalated.
Besides
some fans that caravanned with the band, fairgoers stopped to take in the
sounds in between perusing knickknacks, old lawnmowers, parakeets, Scarface memorabilia and other assorted
junk.
In
addition to their usual set lists, both bands played an ode to 7 Mile Fair.
Crappy Dracula reworked lyrics to one of their songs in tribute, and The Trusty
Knife performed a lounge-like ballad for the thrifty shoppers at the flea
market.
“If
you’re in love with value/ then I’m in love with you/ you better set up a
table/ at 7 Mile Fair,” singer Zack Pieper crooned, reaching out lovingly to
the small but enthusiastic crowd.
Dug
Belan, bassist and singer for Crappy Dracula, said the reception from 7 Mile
Fair management was great and that both bands hope to return to the event someday.
