    This is crazy (lol) to see because just yesterday I read the entire Crazy Town Wikipedia page.

    The main two dudes are Epic and Shifty Shellshock.

    Another band member went by Rust Epique.

    Rust left the band to make a new one called Pre)Thing - that’s how I got there, I was looking for the artist Praything. Pre)Thing released 1 album…a month after Rust died from an aortic rupture.

    My favorite part of the read: they refused to give their label control of their website (crazytown.com, which is gone now) so the label wouldn’t let them put it on the album art. So they added an outro track…called www.crazytown.com …and on it they just repeat the URL for a minute and a half.

    Looked up the band to get the name (Shifty Shellshock) and found this gem from 2023. This band needs therapy

    I have a hard time believing that someone could get visibly upset at a band’s name.

      Visibly upset = “are you serious? What the fuck kind of name is that?”

        I get it, but considering there are so many weird band names out there that make little sense, Crazy Town is mild. It’s a town that’s crazy in imaginationland, what about it?

    Butterfly is a great song! Your brother has terrible taste in music. It’s their only great song, but it’s great nonetheless.
