Lower Haight Art Walk

by Tina - 10:52 p.m. PDT on Aug.11.2011

This is probably the weirdest stage setup we've ever had (per the soundperson's request), but it was fun!  Thanks to our friends who came out at such short notice and everyone else who hung out to hear us play. To those escorting the drummer-in-training that sat down at my kit...CUTE kid! I regret not getting a photo of that.

We are playing the Lower Haight Art Walk in San Francisco TOMORROW (Sat) sometime between 12p-6p. It's kind of a last minute thing. More details as they are available. Keep a check on our facebook page. But, the best detail is...it's FREE!

Last NIght

by Tony - 4:41 p.m. PDT on Jul.10.2011

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show last night at Hotel Utah.  We always love to return to the Utah, one of the first clubs we ever played.  The crowd, the other bands and the general menschiness of the entire evening were awesome.  Keep your eyes open for more future Crazies shows and our upcoming 3rd CD!

Update & Upcoming Hotel Utah Show

by Tina - 11:44 p.m. PDT on Jun.25.2011

Big thanks to you guys & gals in helping our 2 shows at Kimo's in April really rock! We hope you enjoyed the new surprises we had in store.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to check out our next show at Hotel Utah in a couple of weeks. Our upcoming Hotel Utah show is on Saturday, July 9th.  We are supporting the band Catholic Radio and their new CD release.  Also playing is Yalpine.  For more info, go to our details page on this show at:  Hotel Utah Show - July '11

Kimo's April 12th Show and Crazies Update

by Tina - 11:32 p.m. PDT on Apr.13.2011

Thanks to all of you that came out to help us break our 5-month hiatus from playing shows.  We had a blast and it's all because you guys are so fun!  Warren Teagarden and Wizard Boots rocked it as well.  It was a fantastic night. Thanks to our friend Mike for taking some pics to document the occasion.

BTW...it's ON now! For instance, we are playing Kimo's again in two weeks, on Friday April 29th and we're lining up more shows for the summer. Also, we are setting up a short tour of the Northwest. We will post new shows as they are confirmed.

Also, we start recording this weekend. We are rockin' it DIY-style. Look for a new EP or full CD release in the Fall.

So basically, keep a lookout for even more Crazies goodness soon.

Halloween at Hemlock Tavern & Pirate Cat Radio Interview

by Tina - 12:56 a.m. PST on Nov.8.2010

Crazies' fun during Halloween week:  First, we had a great time at the Hemlock Tavern on All Hallows Eve.  We dressed up in costumes, gave out free candy, and rocked out along with The Parties and The Lotus Moons . Then, on Wednesday (Nov 3rd), we had a fun interview with Russel Forster on his Punk Prescription show on Pirate Cat Radio . 

You can hear the interview at: Crazies Pirate Cat Radio Interview - 11-3-10

You can hear the full show at: Punk Prescription Show - 11-3-10

 by Tina - 2:50 p.m. PST on Nov.11.2010

Oh, forgot to mention... There's about a 40 sec section of dead air after the song "Happenin' Hominid". I was going to edit it out, but then the comments afterward would not have made sense. :)

Thanks to those who came out in person and who listened live via the live stream on the Internet.  It was our first ever acoustic set.  We even debuted a new song that we've never performed before, "Sound Barrier".  We hope you enjoyed it...we sure did.  We also enjoyed meeting the other band on show, Tokyo Raid.  Awesome.  They are playing the Elbo Room tomorrow night.  Go check them out. Also, thanks to Pirate Cat Radio (PCR) and staff who made it all possible...especially DJ Brian, who conducted our set/interview.  BTW, PCR is raising money right now to get back on the standard radio airwaves.  Go to www.piratecatradio.com for more details.

Destroying MS at Red Devil Lounge

by Tina - 6:14 p.m. PDT on Aug.22.2010

Thanks for helping us in the fight to DESTROY MS!  Nic Padilla, the Red Devil Lounge, and et al. put together an awesome way to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research.  There is no cure (YET!), but with cool events like Rock For The Cure, we get closer everyday.  Your donations are greatly appreciated.

Iain Drummond sat-in on our set and played harmonica on "Out Of Hand". What a wonderful job he did, too. Thanks, Iain!

PEACE.

"Megafauna" Tracks Playing on KUNV 91.5FM - Las Vegas

by Tina - 12:36 a.m. PDT on Jul.10.2010

Hey guys and gals! 

We just found out that KUNV 91.5FM in Las Vegas, NV is playing tracks from our latest album, "Megafauna", during their Neon Reverb show on Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. PDT (Pacific time zone).  They are scheduled to play "Happenin' Hominid" this Saturday (7/10/10).  So, if you're in Vegas, tune them in or, if you're not in the area, listen to their stream on the 'Net at: http://streaming.kunv.org:8000  

KUNV is billed as a Jazz station, but breaks from that format for certain shows, like Neon Reverb.  If you want more info about the station or have problems connecting to the stream, go to their website, kunv.org, for more details.

We had a blast playing a show in Vegas last month during our tour and hope to go back soon.  It's such a fun place!  But, we don't need to tell you, right? <wink, wink, nudge, nudge>

Last Night's Hemlock Show

by Jade - 11:02 a.m. PDT on Jul.1.2010

Greetings from the land of the Crazies!  Last night was another rockin' adventure at Hemlock Tavern .  We had a fantastic time playing and really dug the energy of the crowd, which was unexpectedly substantial, especially for a Wednesday night.  If you were there, huge thanks!  My favorite part of the night was hearing the audience's beautiful voices join in for singing Happy Birthday to Tina.  Much love!  Speaking of love, The Interchangeable Hearts opened up the night and they were great -- to me they sounded like a Blondie / Fiona Apple / Cake three-way lovechild.  Check 'em out.  Also, Warren Teagarden and The Good Grief tore it up at the end of the night -- their music sounded solid solid solid with their new(ish) line-up.  Thinking on it now, Hemlock is definitely one of my favorite local venues to play.  Great sound, people, and bartenders, not to mention the local flavor, which last night included a guy who rapped positive rhymes for us outside the venue at 2am. 
 
Next up for us is a festival show in Antioch on Saturday, July 24th.  We have advanced tickets on hand ($10) and will be making quite the party out of it, so please get in touch if you'd like to come out to the warm weather with us!  I'm looking forward to tailgating in the summer sun and then rocking out at night.

June Tour & Upcoming Local Shows

by Tina - 12:22 p.m. PDT on Jun.21.2010

Thanks to all for your support during our recent tour of the Southwest and Southern California.  We had a blast!  As soon as we catch our breath, we'll post more of the photos and maybe some audio recordings (and a video or two) from our tour.  If not here, maybe on our Facebook page.  So, keep a lookout.

Now, we are looking forward to our upcoming local show at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco on June 30th with Warren Teagarden and The Interchangeable Hearts.  Also, we've added (and will continue to add) more local shows in the upcoming months. Check our shows page for more details.

Rockin' in Las Vegas

by Tina - 12:10 p.m. PDT on Jun.5.2010

Thanks to all who came out last night to hear us and to the Freakin' Frog for hosting us!  We even had friends come out from San Francisco and Denver.  We had a fun night of rockin'.   Our van is already in the shop (so typical, right?).  But, as soon as it gets fixed we're on our way.  Scottsdale, AZ, here we come!!!

Radio Interview 2/24...live or nothing :(

by Tina - 2:41 p.m. PST on Feb.27.2010

For all of you who missed the live show: We got the word that the podcast/recording will probably not be available due to technical problems with the recording equipment during the show. So, if you didn't catch it live, you probably won't hear it at all. But, we were asked back for another interview that will probably take place sometime in April. We'll announce it as soon as the details become available. If anyone out there grabbed a recording of the interview/show, we would REALLY appreciate getting a copy.

Interview w/ Russ at Pirate Cat Radio

by Tina - 7:41 p.m. PST on Feb.24.2010

We had a blast hanging out with Russ & et al at Pirate Cat Radio.  And, we met a cool trio, Pocket Full Of Rye, who played live in the cafe a little while after our interview.  We hope you got a chance to listen in.  But, if you missed it, we'll let you know if a podcast/recording of the show becomes available.

Slammer Nabs Equalizer and Wicker Man or: Thanks for Coming Out to the Hemlock to Celebrate the Release of Megafauna

by Tony -11:07 p.m. PST on Nov.16.2009

Edward Woodward, who played the urbanglo (i.e., a hybrid of urbane and anglo -- in the '80's we could have called this a sniglet) quasi-vigilante Robert McCall in the cult 1980's TV show The Equalizer, died today.  While Woodward was undoubtedly super-cool in that show playing an ass-kicking Brit who fed bad guys just desserts when the police wouldn't, he will be best remembered by geeks like myself as the hapless protagonist of The Wicker Man, one of the most unexpectedly frightening -- and frighteningly unexpected -- creepout films of the 1970's.  You start out thinking this film is just some goofy hippy-era celebration of paganism and non-traditional lifestyles, but don't be fooled -- this film has fangs.  And whatever you do, do not turn the movie off before it ends, even if you find yourself wondering why the hell you bothered with it when you could be in stoner-bliss watching Mother-Fucking-Nature crush the Earth in Roland Emmerich's latest cock-tosterone-fueled disaster epic.  I'm serious -- if you make it to the end of The Wicker Man, it's a film you won't soon forget. 

Speaking of creepy things that end on a high note, the Crazies want to thank everyone who came out to our CD release show Thursday night at the Hemlock.  It was an awesomely fun night for us, and we loved having the support of so many friends.  We're working on scheduling more shows for the coming months (with more new songs to boot!), so stay tuned for that.  And if you didn't get a copy of Megafauna, we'll be selling it very soon on CDBaby.com.  Ciao!

 

"Megafauna"...coming soon (to destroy stuff near you!)

by Tina - 1:53 a.m. PDT on Sep.10.2009

We are so happy to announce that we have (finally!) finished recording/mixing our new, upcoming album, "Megafauna"!!!  It's now in the process of mastering and will then go on to pressing/packaging.  We hope to have it in hand by the end of October (later than expected, we know...sorry).  We are working on lining up a release show soon after that.  Keep checking back for updates.
