Crazy Town is based in Los Angeles,
California and fronted by members Shifty Shellshock
(aka Seth Brooks Binzer) and Bret "Epic"
Mazur. Shellshock and Mazur grew up influenced by all
sorts of music including hip-hip, punk, and
alternative rock, and realized they could make a go
at it of their own when they met. They worked
together as the "Brimstone Sluggers" in the
90s before going off on their own and then returning
together to form Crazy Town. Soon the band was
created and included Doug "Faydoedelay"
Miller on bass, Rust Epique and Antonio Lorrenzo
"Trouble" Valli on guitar, Adam "DJ
AM" Goldstein on turntables and James
"JBJ" Bradley, Jr., on drums. Mazur also
worked as a producer for such acts as Bell
Biv Devoe and MC Lyte.
Crazy Town released their debut LP Gift
Of Game.
The band would have to wait over a year before their
3rd single from the LP made it big on the charts and
radio.
