The Crazy Ivans are a brand-spanking-new rock band out of the bowels of Dallas, Texas, combining the best elements of old school rock, metal, punk and pop with Janis Joplin-esque vocals and creating something brilliant in the process. After just four months performing on the Dallas scene, The Crazy Ivans are already starting something of a revolutionary rock buzz.
Why this name?
Top secret, sorry. Not from The Hunt for Red October, if that's what you were thinking.
Do you play live?
Hell yes! We love playing live, and have done shows in Dallas (our homebase), Houston and Austin with other cities in our crosshairs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Ridiculous question! How does it *not* change the music industry?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, it's still a valid way of getting our music out there.
Band History:
Forged in hellfire, The Crazy Ivans were the brainchild of four young bucks who were fed up to *here* with the mass-produced garbage they'd been subjected to for the last two decades. Coming together to form a straight-up rock band, they later added a bluesy-punk female vocalist and a maestro on the Hammond X-3 organ, and started creating a sound unlike anything heard before.
The Crazy Ivans recorded their first EP, 'Go Back to Russia, Sucka!' in the summer of 2008, and started performing live around Halloween 2008. They've rocked faces ever since.
