Kenny Crucial gets his Mack on

WHO’S THE MACK? Kenny Crucial as Mack Messiah, performing at Drunken Unicorn Wed., May 21.

This was one of the best local shows I have seen in a very long time and rivaled many of the bands I saw at South by Southwest this year - although I may be accused of bias given that my daughter Monika sat in on bass and omnichord. I think you would get the same reaction from anybody that was present to see Kenny Crucial on stage instead of in the front row.
