The Crazy 8's were a popular regional band from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, scoring several college radio chart hits ("Johnny Q.", "Law & Order") before disbanding sometime in the 1990's. Known for their energetic live shows, the band garnered a cult following in college towns up and down the West Coast of the U.S., but were unable to make the transition to mainstream musical success.
History
The band was formed at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon in 1984. The band formed their own label, "RedRum Records," to release their debut offering, "Law and Order." Constant touring in the Pacific Northwest quickly won the band many fans.
Falling through the cracks of ska history (appearing on the scene too late for fans of The Specials and The English Beat, too early for the generation that believed ska was invented by No Doubt and Sublime), the Crazy 8's are still fondly remembered by the many people who enjoyed their live shows and catchy singles.
