about
The Gizmos were a proto-punk band that formed in Bloomington, Indiana in 1975. Both leading members, Eddie Flowers and Rich Coffee would move to Los Angeles in the late 1970s and become active in the post-punk, underground rock scene there. Flowers would start Crawlspace with ex-members of the Lazy Cowgirls in 1985, starting out in a punk rock vein but increasingly growing more experimental as time went on. By the early 1990s Crawlspace's music was free improvisation inspired by John Cage and Derek Bailey. Coffee sang and played in Thee Fourgiven and The Tommyknockers, influenced by late 1960s pre-punk hard rock bands like the MC5 and The Doors as well as more recent acts like The Cramps,The Gun Club, and Billy Childish The bands of both Coffee and Flowers were associated with the Sympathy for the Record Industry record label.
