Artist History The Boston Based Crash Course was formed in 1988 by Wayne Macpherson. He began experimenting with dance beats and samples at home using a Casio keyboard and a DJ mixer. In 1991 Wayne asked Luke to join the band.The first Crash Course cassette titled "Brace For Impact" was completed in June of 1991. The second Crash Course release was called "Free Samples/Bits'n Pieces" and was released in the fall of 1991.In late summer 1993 the third Crash Course cassette "May Day/Nite School" was released.The next cassette was a greatest hits collection called "Long Live The Future The Singles Vol.1" released on New Year’s Eve 1993-94.This cassette features the best songs from the previous three releases with three new songs and two re-mixes of older songs.The final home-made cassette was "Stunts Unltd. Ltd.-EP" released in 1995. During the recording of the vocals for Get Worse Soon neighbors called the police. The police arrived and wanted to see if something bad was going on. This ended the home recording phase of Crash Course.In 1995 members of the band Happy The Clown approached Crash Course with the idea of putting out a split cassette. Crash Course agreed and went into the studio in the fall of 1995 to start recording tracks for what would be titled "Trim The Tree".Throughout 1996 and 1997 work continued on the full length CD YAK! The YAK! CD featured re-worked versions of previously released Crash Course songs. The CD,released in early 1997, contains 14 tracks.The song "Guy In The Sky" has been selected to be included in the film "What I Did When I Was Away".This is an independent film by Theodore Cormey that was filmed in Boston and includes music from local bands.Currently Crash Course is working on a new CD to be called "Lo-Tek".
