The CRASS was an English anarcho-punk band between 1977- 84. It was founded by the drummer Penny Rimbaud (writer, poet, „toilet-seat philosopher”) and the vocalist Steve Ignorant (sculptor, his after CRASS bands: Conflict, Current 93). The name came from a line of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust. But contrast with Bowie they wore only black military clothes constantly and used only 40W bulbs during their shows. Within a short time three guitarists, two female vocalists, a film maker, a sound engineer and Gee Vaucher visual artist to joined them. The members got involved in every peace and social movement and beside the music made fanzines and did street art activities. The band became the most influential anarcho-punk band of the world.
