Biography
The Crash City Saints are a shoegaze/noise-pop band based out of Kalamazoo, Michigan fronted by one Joshua Garman supported by various members for over a decade. From humbled beginnings, he has stayed true to the music he knows and loves, late 80s/early 90s shoegaze. After an initial stint in Florida, Josh moved to Michigan and struck up a new incarnation of CCS with his girlfriend, Sara Maidment.
After playing some 2 piece shows backed by a drum machine, Josh’s brother Nathan stepped in to enrich the sound with alternating bass and guitar, as well as backup vocals. In 2006, a young fan attended a Crash City Saints/STAR show in a small bar in downtown Kalamazoo and ended up a new piece to the outfit. Matt Massuch started as an avid fan, spending long nights adding to his knowledge of shoegaze artists with the trio and eventually assumed bass roles, stepping up to lead guitar a year later. The 4-piece played a few live gigs in 2006 until Sara left in July 2006 to further pursue her education. Matt, Josh, and Nathan carried on, writing and sporadically performing until Nathan left in May 2007 to front The Hex Bombs. As a two-piece, CCS remained inactive for some time, but were given new life in June 2007, when Tobi Clements started playing on bass. After two shows (including one disastrous night with a laptop best left to legend), Tobi left in August due to personal reasons.
