Christoph Jesus of Crazy & The Brains
Manage episode 341269678 series 2798654
Goddamn Dirtbags this was a really fun episode. It was my first time meeting Christoph but it felt like we had a little bit of a musical kinship. I can’t tell i we’ve got kind of similar stories or if the pursuit of punk is just really relatable whether you grew up in a small mountain town or practically in the city that never sleeps. Christoph grew up in the shadow of Manhattan just on the other side of the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City. As early as 12 he found himself making his way into New York City looking for “punk” or any sign of its faint and distant heartbeat. While many old-timers from the Glory Days of punk may have considered the movement long dead before Christoph’s inquisitive arrival, Christoph forged on. After years of searching and hard work it seems that the very heart of punk has found him. No other than Iggy Pop has personally asked Christoph’s group Crazy & The Brains to play Destination Chaos, Iggy's festival in the Dominica Republic this coming winter.
Whether he found it or it found him doesn’t matter. They’ve found each other and they’ll keep making noise and fucking shit up until they walk off into that far setting sun.
