Tours of Note – Kram

August 23rd, 2009 - by Eddie

Rock, Tours, Video

It’s rare on this site for us to lead with a YouTube video, but there’s something special that translates with Kram‘s “Good Love.”

Kram, which I’m assuming is both the name of the band and the bearded dude singing, has a Zach Galifianakis quality to it, provided that Galifianakis got married and had a child.

Good Love is just about that, a man who loves his wife and little boy, and the only way he can express those feelings is through a rock song he apparently wrote while in a cab.

In his own words, via the PR:

“My girl, my little boy and me. It’s our life. Wrote the song in a cab on the way to the studio. 4 hours later it was finished. Full on and a little bit fucked up. My best guitar solo. Mix Tape is a luv and rock n roll record, and I made ‘Good Love’ because that says it all:  just me and my girl Ree and our little boy Lonnie. Pretty simple… but awesome.”

And it is awesome. I would add this to your summer jams playlist immediately.

Oh, why is it awesome? I have not idea. I can only tell you that there is something pure about a man playing a rock song about his family and then incorporating said family into his video.

Maybe it’s because I’m on the cusp of getting married myself, but I kind of see this as Family 2.0. In this age of file sharing networks, it seems people are learning to share other things in their life. And that’s the kind of family everyone really wants. Screw the picket fence. It’s about sharing Good Love.
