Crazy P (previously infamously known as Crazy Penis) has never been a
band swayed by the latest trends. They’ve stuck to their guns and let
the world catch up with their unique sound. They are undeniably DISCO
and have unintentionally found themselves as part of the recent
renaissance that has crossed the Atlantic from New York City and now sit
alongside Hercules & Love Affair and Escort as a band that can cut it
live
Only a small handful of dance acts can put on a proper live performance
and Crazy P are part of this unique group. They’re a band that gets the
party started (surviving sound failures, streaking naked across festival
campsites and winding up at numerous after-parties) with headline
performances at The Playground Weekender, The Big Chill, Good Vibrations
in Sydney, The Sydney Festival, Dance Village at Glastonbury, The Garden
Festival in Croatia, plus also having supported Faithless on their 2005
stadium tour across the globe.
Crazy P’s pedigree as recording artists is clearly documented by three
superb previous albums - their first two classics ‘A Nice Hot Bath With’
and ‘The Wicked Is Music’ on Paper Recordings and their album ‘Night on
Earth’ on Shiva, which sold over 20,000 copies.
The latter proved to be a massive step up for the band, making them bona
fide stars in Australia, New Zealand and the UK as well as cementing
their reputation as highly respected songwriters. Pete Tong became a
huge fan and rotated the singles constantly on Radio One and invited the
band to record a live session in the Maida Vale Studios. Singles 'Sun
Science' and ‘Lady T’ went on to become Ibizan sunset and festival
classics and found their way into countless compilations.
Crazy P latest offering Stop Space Return, spawning from Ralph Lawson’s
funk laced house label 20:20 Vision Recordings captures the sound of a
band at their peak and effortlessly blends their influences of classic
NYC House, 70's funk & disco, soul instrumentation, pop melodies,
electronica* *and* *sun kissed beats to delicious effect.
