History
editFormation (1995–1999)
editBret MazurandSeth Binzer,who go by the names of Epic and Shifty Shellshock, respectively, started collaborating under the name of "The Brimstone Sluggers" in 1995 in Los Angeles, along withAdam Bravin(a.k.a. DJ Adam 12) who preceded DJ AM. However, they did not become serious about releasing any material until much later.[3]By early 1999,Rust Epique,James Bradley Jr. (a.k.a. JBJ), Doug Miller,Adam Goldstein(a.k.a. DJ AM), and Antonio Lorenzo "Trouble" Valli joined the band. Prior to joining the band, Bradley was the drummer for jazz trumpeterChuck Mangionefrom 1977 to 1981, and had been a member of the alternative rock bandMary's Danishin the early 1990s.[4]Crazy Town's debut album,The Gift of Game,was released in November 1999, having been recorded earlier that year.
The Gift of Gameand "Butterfly" (1999–2001)
editThe release ofThe Gift of Gamewas followed by a tour support slot for theRed Hot Chili Peppers.Guitarist Rust Epique left the band while the album was being mixed, and Crazy Town was joined by Kraig Tyler shortly after. The first two singles fromThe Gift of Game,"Toxic" and "Darkside", were released but failed to chart.[5]
In 2000, Crazy Town was signed to tour withOzzfest;however, they were forced to withdraw after only two weeks when Binzer was arrested after he threw a chair through a window while he was drunk.[3][6]Crazy Town then released their third single in 2001, "Butterfly" (which uses samples from Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Pretty Little Ditty"). It reached number 1 on theBillboardHot 100chart.Soundscanreports 100,000 album sales ofThe Gift of Gameprior to the release of "Butterfly"; after "Butterfly" reached number 1, sales exceeded 1.5 million.[7]
Crazy Town toured with Ozzfest in 2001.[8]They were received with mixed reviews; many people in the Ozzfest crowd mockingly called them "The Butterfly Boys".[9]A fourth single, "Revolving Door",was released with limited success. In 2001 Crazy Town also made a cameo appearance in the music video for"Bad Boy for Life"byP. Diddy,Black Roband Mark Curry.
Darkhorse(2001–2003)
editTheir second album,Darkhorse,was produced byHoward Bensonand released on November 12, 2002.[10]Benson's influence resulted in a morerock-oriented sound. Prior to recording the album, drummer James Bradley Jr. eventually left the band and was replaced by Kyle Hollinger. The album achieved little commercial success, spawning only two singles: "Drowning",which became a minor hit in the U.S., UK, Austria, and Germany, and" Hurt You So Bad ", which failed to chart at all. Shortly after the release ofDarkhorsethe band broke up in 2003, citing amongst other things, pressure from their record company for a "Butterfly" follow-up.[5]
Hiatus (2003–2007)
editDuring Crazy Town's hiatus, Bret Mazur went on to formThe Pharmacy,a record-producing company. Shortly after leaving Crazy Town,Rust Epiqueformed a band which would eventually go by the namepre)Thing.He died of aheart attackshortly before their debut album22nd Century Lifestylewas released in 2004.[11]Binzer contributed vocals toPaul Oakenfold's 2002 singleStarry Eyed Surprise.He released his first solo album in 2004,Happy Love Sick,under his aliasShifty Shellshock.Kraig Tyler joined Eric Powell's industrial band16Volt.

editIn late 2007, Crazy Town announced that the remaining members had reformed and were working on a new studio album, tentatively titledCrazy Town is Back,which would be released sometime in 2008,[12]though no such release was ever made. On August 26, 2009, Crazy Town performed at Les Deux, inHollywood, California,on stage together for the first time in five years.[13]On August 28, 2009, former member DJ AM was found dead in his apartment, of an accidental drug overdose.[14]On August 7, 2010, Crazy Town played together at the festivalSRH FEST 2010in California.[15]Throughout 2011, Crazy Town released a new song, "My Place", on YouTube, as well as two new songs, "Hard to Get" and "Hit That Switch", on their Myspace page.
The Brimstone Sluggers(2013–2017)
editIn 2013, Shifty and Epic said that Crazy Town were in the studio recording a new album, entitledThe Brimstone Sluggers.[16]On December 18, 2014, Crazy Town released their first official single from the album, "Megatron". The song was used as the theme song forImpact Wrestlingduring its run onDestination Americain 2015.[17]
The Brimstone Sluggerswas released on August 28, 2015. DJ AM appears as a featured artist on the track "Born to Raise Hell", which was released as a single in August 2015.[18][19]In 2016, lead guitarist Elias Tannous[20]was added to the lineup and from August till October 2016, the band toured with theMake America Rock Againconcert, alongside other artists who had success throughout the 2000s.[21]Throughout the tour, Epic would perform and was temporarily replaced by Bobby Reeves, an ex-vocalist ofAdema.
Mazur's departure, lineup change,Crazy Town Xand Binzer's death (2017–2024)
editIn January 2017, after a year of hiatus from the band, Epic announced through hisFacebookpost that he will no longer tour with the band.[22][23]Epic intended to still be involved with Crazy Town, though not as a band member. Shifty decided to add an "X"next to the band's name. When asked about the letter's significance on theirInstagramaccount, the band stated "the X is used by gangs to symbolize a territory that has just been won".[24]
On November 3, 2019, Crazy Town's van, carrying Binzer and band members Elias Tannous and Roland Banks, crashed into a moose during a tour stop in Ontario, Canada. All three were treated for bruises and cuts at the hospital.[25]
Crazy Town were kicked off a 2023 tour withHed PEafter a bloody fight between Binzer and Reeves outside a venue inMyrtle Beach, South Carolina.[26][27]
Crazy Town released an EP titledFlirting With Disasterin March 2024.[28]At the time, Crazy Town's members were Binzer, Mark White, Rick Dixon and Sean Heenan.[29]
On June 24, 2024, Binzer was found dead in his home from an accidental drug overdose.[30]
Musical style and legacy
editBillboardcategorized Crazy Town as arockandhip hopband.[31]The band described themselves as "hip-hop kids who needed a bit of rock in their sound", instead of a rock band that added hip hop to their sound,[32]reflecting the band members' background working in Los Angeles hip hop.[33]The band fused "hip-hop's lyrical attitude and rhythmic sass with the muscle of live rock instrumentation."[33]They developed theirrap rocksound in the Los Angeles underground music scene, anticipatingnu metal.[34]According toAllMusic,"Crazy Town's music and image reflected one of the most dynamic and volatile sociocultural environments on the planet—Los Angeles—where the urban squalor of the South Central district exists just minutes away from the glitz of Beverly Hills."[33]The band's influences includeN.W.A,Cypress Hill,Ice-Tandthe Cure.[33]Crazy Town's music is defined by "pronged rapping [...] urban angst/street-fighting, bitch-bonking [lyrics]" which are "punctuated [with] bone-crushing [...] guitar riffs."[35]Due to looking more like a hip hop crew than a metal band, Crazy Town inspired more ire from metal purists than any other rap rock group.[32]It was commonly perceived that the band's target audience was 13-year-old boys "vicariously living out their fantasies of being a bad-ass tattooed pimp" through the band's rap lyrics.[32]
About the band's lyrics,Shifty Shellshocksaid: "We're just having a good time. We're not like political or anything. I can be very sarcastic just like a little punk, we talk a lot of trash. We have some points, like 'learn from your mistakes', 'check yourself', you know, 'don't get taken advantage of'. Real simple things, nothing too overwhelming".[36]
Although they were best known for having arap metalsound, their biggest hit, "Butterfly", had a hip hop sound.[37]Reporting on the song's success in 2001,The Oklahomanwrote, "The song, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart last month, was one of those welcome surprises: a deft blend of hip-hop and rock that didn't sound likeRed Bull-fueled 'roid rage. Built around a sample of theRed Hot Chili Peppers' 'Pretty Little Ditty,' 'Butterfly' was hard enough to please theBizkiteaters but smooth enough to seducepopfans. "[38]Their third album,The Brimstone Sluggers,saw the band displaying analternative hip hopsound reflective of their musical roots.[39][40]
About the band's legacy in nu metal,I'm Music Magazinesaid: "Crazy Town is often only thought of as a 'one hit wonder' by way too many people. The band has never truly received the credit that they deserve for their influence on the nu metal scene".[41]
