January 8 [14:00 EDT] -- If you're looking for the latest effort from Cracker, don't check your local record store.

The band's frontman, David Lowery, has most recently put his energy into his movie debut, a film called "River Red," which debuts at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah later this month.

Lowery plays a bartender in "River Red," which marks the directorial debut of Eric Drilling and also features "American Werewolf In Paris" star Tom Everett Scott.

A thorough knowledge of mixology seems to be the best asset for musicians hoping to break into films. Julian Lennon also set 'em up behind the bar in "Leaving Las Vegas," and in the upcoming "Spiceworld," Elvis Costello makes a cameo as a bartender.

The Gwenyth Paltrow film "Sliding Doors" will open the Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off on Thursday, January 15.

Meanwhile, Cracker has a new album due later this year called "Gentlemen's Blues" which features songs with pianist Benmont Tench and guitarist Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers as well as former Replacement Tommy Stinson, currently of the group Perfect (and recently seen and heard in Puff Daddy' rock remix of "It's All About The Benjamins") on bass.
