Kids Called Crazy

About Me

KIDS CALLED CRAZY IS DEAD. We are now in a band called No Jazz Tonight . If you liked KCC, check it out.
Kids Called Crazy was started in a bedroom as a scam by a homeless teenager nine years ago, and played their last show as a bunch of jaded old cranks on July 5th, 2008, in a basement. We had lots of fun in between scene wars and personal problems.
We are very grateful for the many folks who helped us out and cared about our songs despite the fact that we had very little to offer in return, whether financially or socially. We were never cool or popular and that's fine with us. We always strove for honesty and to play fun, fast songs, and if we succeeded there, that's enough for me. Thanks for caring if you did!
-Jeremiah, Dethroned Benevolent Dictator

Merchandise, it keeps us in line:

As of now, The Moon and I Am Not Your Fucking Jerk are no longer in print.
However, they are both included on this:
$2, 29 tracks, and the title is a joke. This is a CD. Email me or catch me in person for a copy.

The split CD is out!!


$5, 16 tracks This super-awesome punk rock release not only features 8 blazing jams by both bands, and not only comes packaged really nicely with color art and lyrics sheets and everything, but is a totally DIY project involved no fucking pressing plants whatsoever. I am really proud of it and a little amazed that we actually produced something this nice. As a bonus, the PMS tracks have all been remastered.
We have a bunch of offensive patches and some really awesome KCC/diet folk buttons which I will post some pictures of shortly. Patches are $1 or free with a mail order, buttons are 50 cents or 3 for $1 and aren't free with anything because Willis spent all her money on them.
If you really love us, our friend Erika makes lovely embroidered patches which cost $5 due to the time and effort involved in making them.
Check out Diet Folk! Records for more info.

Brain death! School damage! Straight A’s!

I have officially rocked another semester with a 4.0 average. I suspect divine intervention, since my study habits bordered on non-existent during finals.-jr/kcc
