Calvin Krime
Encyclopedia
Calvin Krime was a hardcore band in Minneapolis, Minnesota
during the late 1990s. The trio formed in 1995 when Sean Tillmann, Jon Kelson, and Jason Ralph met at Perpich Center for Arts Education
while in their teens. Signed to Amphetamine Reptile, their primary audience was in the punk and noise scene dominant in South Minneapolis at the time. Usually, Calvin Krime
was booked in smaller venues and often at house parties. During their three-and-a-half years together, they released two albums (Dress for the Future & You're Feeling So Attractive) and an EP (3x3x3 1/2). The group disbanded in 1998. Afterwards, all the members went on to other bands, including Sean Tillmann, who went on first to Sean Na Na
and then to his persona as Har Mar Superstar
.
Eleven years after their break-up, Calvin Krime
played a reunion show at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota
on September 13, 2009. Tillmann, Kelson & Ralph also reunited to play The Amphetamine Reptile 25th Anniversary gala on August 29, 2010.
