Oh Jackie!/Pencil Dive/The Mar Mars/Palmetto Slug
About This Event
At Wonderville, Crab appears on a mixed bill with Pencil Dive, The Mar Mars, Palmetto Slug and Oh Jackie. Crab draws its frame from Cate Le Bon’s Crab Day and favors taut arrangements and dry melodic turns, performing like a band built around a specific record-world. The remaining acts work in country, prioritizing plainspoken songcraft and tight ensemble playing; Oh Jackie shares a name with Tiffany’s Japan-only 1989 single and the Yamaha campaign that accompanied it.
