Jaime Crunchbird writes psychedelic/poetic- metal- punk rock for a 3-piece w/influences from rock, art, and literature as wide-ranging as the , John Coltrane, Throbbing Gristle and patti smith. Jaime became Crunchbird, the artist n 1984 and began playing shows as Crunchbird in Seattle at that time.Shit Happens EPIn 1988, Crunch approached longtime friend Lonnie King(Dehumanizers, ASH, IMIJ ) to play lead guitar Captain Skillit Weasel (aka Scott Gear) to play bass, and Batcave Sean (Sean Anderson) on Drums- they agreed, and CB 2.0 was born. The sound became harder but more musical, bits of funk, blues feedback, and hardcore punk with poetry improvisations live. This line up allowed Crunch to concentrate more on the storytelling of his songwriting and live shows had a party atmosphere. This version of the band was active until 1992. Reject EPIn 1994, Crunchbird released a solo acoustic album with session players Geoff Lane on bass and Erik Dannevig on drums called "Reject" – release
