Are the Counting Crows cooler than any of us realized? First the Gaslight Anthem quote Adam Duritz's "wish I looked like Elvis" line on their ridiculously great song "High Lonesome", and then the long-maligned dreaded-up dorm-rockers announced that they'd be bringing the Hold Steady on tour with them in the UK and Ireland.We reported that story last year, but Counting Crows went and postponed the tour. It turns out the reason for the schedule change wasn't that Duritz and them knew they'd be blatantly outrocked every night. Rather, it was the economy. NME reports that the whole tour has been rescheduled and will in fact be going down in May. And apparently the Counting Crows are still big enough in England to headline Wembley Arena? Which means the Hold Steady will get to rock Wembley, which will be ridiculous.If the Counting Crows guys know what's good for them, they will spend the intervening months getting their alcohol-tolerance levels up. Those Hold Steady dudes do not play.read more

Their debut album, August And Everything After came out in 1993. Curiously enough, though, the album's title track has never been released, even though its original lyrics were&#...

Of all of the acts to spill out of the '90s Bay Area rock scene, adult-alternative troubadours Counting Crows have been one of the most enduring. Right around the time Green Day were rattling the walls of Berkley punk incubator 924 Gilman, Adam Duritz and Counting Crows guitarist David Bryson were on the other side…
