About Me

Thirty-five jazz musicians got together for a pushup contest, and the seven winners became Kids Eat Crayons. JP and Craig: 12, Steve: 11, Dave and Ben: 9, Scott: 7, DW: 6.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"For all of you Zappa heads out there who don’t mind a touch of over-the-top Steely Dan arrangements mixed with that Mike Patton-esque flavour of dementia [...] check out Kids Eat Crayons." - Johnson Cummins (Bionic, Doughboys)

"It's music like this that makes me want to throw in the towel. Listen to that playing [...] I can't compete with that!" - Phil Dixon (General Rudie)

"You guys are nuts." - Daniel Gelinas (avante-garde jazz drummer and composer)

Sounds Like: Sometimes like jazz guys too sissy to play metal properly, sometimes like metal guys too aggressive to play jazz properly.
Sometimes like a hot day at the zoo when the llama decides to masturbate against a fence post and the kids start screaming and pointing while the parents offer them chocolate ass cream to distract them before heading back to the car to find that the family dog has exploded like a potato in a microwave, and no amount of ass cream will stop the kids from licking the windows.
Type of Label: None
