Hello again...

whitfieldcrane.com breathes life once more..

If this is your first visit, you have reached an online resource for the rock / metal singer: Whit Crane.

Whit was a founding member and the lead singer of hard rock / metal band: Ugly Kid Joe. They formed in 1989 and disbanded in 1997. He then went onto tour [for just over a year] with Life of Agony, and then formed Medication with ex Machinehead; Logan Mader..however due to a shambolic record label, the band quit in 2002...

Shannon Larkin forms band with Whitfield Crane and other members of Godsmack.

March 06.

rootv.com airs an interview with Shannon Larkin, former Ugly Kid Joe drummer. Talking about his recent recording / writing sessions for Godsmack's new album:

"It wasn't really productive for GODSMACK, but for Tony, Robbie and me, it was very productive, 'cause we found each other's niche in songwriting," Larkin explained. "In fact, so much so that even after Sully had… We had like 30 something songs, including Sully's songs and the songs that the band wrote together — it was 38 songs or something ridiculous like that. A bunch of music — a bunch of really good music. And you can only have so many songs on a record. So we had all this leftover music that we think is kick-ass. So we started this other band — me, Tony and Robbie — it's called ANOTHER ANIMAL."

Larkin went on to discuss adding his old bandmate from UGLY KID JOE, lead singer Whit Crane, and where he thought the music would be going with ANOTHER ANIMAL.

"So anyway, we called the band ANOTHER ANIMAL and got Whit Crane — he's my buddy from UGLY KID JOE — to sing," he said. "And he's awesome. The music is… it's like… There's definitely some [BLACK] SABBATH [influences], but with like [touches of] 'Angel Dust' FAITH NO MORE-era."

My 12 cents on 'Another Animal':

How bizarre this new chapter is. I think it's great news..another source tells me the album will be out this year. Let's hope we dont have a re run of the Medication episode.

Is here. He's hanging with Shannon Larkin at a Godsmack gig, we presume?

I occasionally post here. It's not related to this site, so don't go thinking it is...okay?
