Artist description
Blend of hard hitting rock and punk, with a blend of bluegrass and ska/reggae riffs. Deep lyrics provided by intense bassist/vocalist Chris Cimino and a taste of the darker side of life provided by Brian Baldwin on lead Guitar. Equipment manager Teddy Buffa helps to darken the atmosphere and keep everyone on there toes while Colin Brady continues trying to learn the entire Who's Next album. To get down to it, a band that will make you dance, make you laugh and make you think. |

Artist History
Formed in the winter of 1999 out of bordom by Chris Cimino and Brian Baldwin, the two began jamming and working on simple punk songs. Then Colin Brady was forced to sit at the drum set for lack of another chair and Crooked Beat was formed. If you want to get a good picture of the Crooked Beat story, visit the homepage. |
