It’s true kids. Tom Petty + Troubadour = Mudcrutch. Yeah, exactly what I thought…huh? In my head it reads as Mudcrotch. Aye. Anyway. Unless you are a hardcore Tom Petty fan you might not know that his previous band, before The Heartbreakers, was Mudcrutch. They are reuniting and hitting the old Troub April 24-29. Tickets onsale April 4. You know I’ve already marked it in my calendar.
Thanks to the awesome Losanjealous for the heads up.
According to Mr. Petty’s website Mudcrutch’s first album will be released April 29.
“I just finished a record with Mudcrutch, my old band before the Heartbreakers,” Petty wrote in a message posted on his website. “I am over the moon about it. I couldn’t have hoped for it to be as good as it came out.”
