CRAZY BALDHEAD

About Me

Started in the Version City dungeon in N.Y.C., in 1997 by guitarist Jayson (Agent Jay) Nugent, Crazy Baldhead has been recording skinhead-reggae and rub-a-dub ever since. Primarily a rhythm section, Crazy Baldhead hosts a veritable who's who of the world ska scene as featured artists on numerous cd and vinyl releases. The band's first full-length cd "Crazy Baldhead Has a Posse 1997-2004" documents the recording collaborations with an ever-changing cast-of-characters at various New York studios over the years.Although the band has done shows, live performances are rare as full-time (bill-paying) musical projects usually keep the core members from being in the same room at the same time. Perhaps that will change...
