A Rackett at Pete’s Candy Store
May 17th, 2005 by Jon|
When Henry and Eric aren’t pressing mints and running the biz, they play in a couple of bands, one of which is called Rackett, a six-man endeavor led by Pulitzer Prize winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon’s astonishingly good lyrics. Rackett played last night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Pete’s Candy Store, a venue that resembles an old train boxcar, small, narrow and warmly lit. The crowd, filled with literary, bespeckled grad student types, nodded along knowingly to rhymes like “Polenta / Oscar De La Renta”, and “Gucci / Pucci / Balducci”.
