About Me


Here is the videos from SWC's first show at Neumos:
Press Release: Rebelution Headlines 420 show in Seattle
Welcome to Smart Went Crazy Productions Myspace.Smart Went Crazy Productions is a company that was started by Aarika Walker to support local music.In my time working in Seattle i am constantly amazed at the talented passionate artists i have been able to meet and work with, I want the whole world to see that and hopefully we can do that show by show step by step. My dream for this company is to look outside the box and line up bands that wouldn't normally play together and make it work, to inhabit a DIY attitude and really start from the ground up in each show and make it like its that first show you ever played and bring that excitement time and time again. Right now we are booking shows, doing online marketing for local bands, and promoting. Some of the bands we work with are The Staxx Brothers, Missing Players, Spellbinder, Micheal Shreive, Panda Conspiracy, Lowenbad and Lionheart Productions. Please also take a moment to check them out. We are always looking to branch out and work with any and all local bands.
Our first show is a 420 Reggae event April 20th with Rebelution, Panda Conspiracy, and Trolls Cottage at Neumos! Tickets are now on sale at www.ticketswest.com, select QFC's and Rudys barbershops.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Local Bands and their fans!
