Archived bio excerpts

Excerpts preserved from archived official sources, shown as originally published.

"CrappyClown (then Megalomaniax) was founded in the spring of '97 by Iiro, Miko (Viskari) and Tom. The name was changed to its current form a year later when Samul joined the band. The music style has always been aggressive and captivating... the strong alternative has been influenced by hardcore and hiphop over the years, but beautiful songs and melodies have always been an important part of CC's music. Mikko (Kärkkäinen) found his way to the band in the autumn of 2000. We have played a lot of gigs, gained experience and audience in the same time...e.g. Tammerfest-99, Tulliklubi, Woodblock-99/-00, YO-talo...etc. Live CrappyClown is energetic, aggressive...the stage is a riot. CrappyClown won the Woodblock 2000 band contest, which was judged by musicians and record company representatives from Tampere, a small victory, but it gave a lot of confidence and enthusiasm to go even harder."
