In 2001 the third single was released, “Butterfly”, and things we’re about to change for this somewhat unknown group. The first two singles from their debut album “Toxic” and “Darkside” failed to chart and things we’re looking quite glum for the band. While the album was being mixed Rust Epique left the band and he was replaced by Kraig Tyler. “The Gift Of Game” was followed by a supporting opportunity for Crazy Town to join the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on tour. After being recorded earlier that year their debut album “The Gift Of Game” was released on November 1999. By early 1999 Rust Epique, James Bradley, Doug Miller, DJ AM (who replaced DJ Adam 12), and Antonio “Trouble” Valli joined the band and Crazy Town was born. In 2007 founding members Bret Mazur and Seth Binzer reformed the band and they released a third album entitled “The Brimstone Sluggers” in 2015.īret Mazur and Seth Binzer who go by the stage names Epic and Shifty Shellshock started collaborating under the name “The Brimstone Sluggers” back in 1995 in Los Angeles, they were joined by Adam Bravin aka DJ Adam 12 and started recording music but didn’t get serious about it til much later. Their follow up album “Darkhorse” which was released in 2002 failed to gather the traction their debut did contributing to the bands break up in 2003. “Butterfly” currently has amassed over 56 million views on YouTube and was sampled from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song “Pretty Little Ditty” from their 1989 album “Mother’s Milk”. Crazy Town became a global success when the band dropped their 2000 hit single, “Butterfly”, which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and helped their debut album, “The Gift Of Game” in 1999 sell over 1.5 million units.
