Best known for their No.1 hit song ‘Butterfly’ rap rockers Crazy Town have announced an Australian tour to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their platinum-selling debut album ‘The Gift Of Game’.

When the new millennium arrived the music industry was in the midst of a new music revolution. The free delivery via shared files online created a new “outlaw” brand, that would prove instrumental in the way music would be not just delivered but created.

One of the break-out bands to not just embrace but help shift the tectonic plates of the music industry was Crazy Town. As one of the first hybrid brands, they brought a new ball into the game. Equal parts urban and suburban, Chevrolet and Bentley, they rolled onto the music scene with a slow build that erupted when a ‘Butterfly’ entered the room. The two founding members, Seth Binzer and Bret Mazur were introduced to each other by WILL I AM of the Black Eyed Peas. Binzer brought in his long-time friend DJ AM and Crazy Town was born.

The band was all the buzz in the industry, the talk of LA. Crazy Town-mania created a classic Hollywood record label bidding war in which Columbia Records ultimately won. It was the Columbia/Sony worldwide reach which appealed the most to Crazy Town and that reach had them touring the world and eventually garnered them a number 1 record in more than 15 countries, and selling more than 6 million copies of their first album, ‘The Gift Of Game.’ The success of their worldwide smash hit Butterfly in 2001 was inescapable and reached iconic status.
