  Crass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crass countered that their uniform appearance was intended to be a statement against the "cult of the personality", so that, in contrast to the norm for many rock bands, no member would be identified as the 'leader'.
Using such deliberately mixed messages was also part of Crass' strategy of presenting themselves as a "barrage of contradictions", which also included using loud, aggressive music to promote a pacifist message, and was in part a reference to their own Dadaist and performance art backgrounds.
As well as their own material, Crass Records released recordings by other performers, the first of which was the 1980 single "You Can Be You" by Honey Bane, a teenage girl who was staying at Dial House whilst on the run from a children's home.

Chris just dithered, tried to do it all himself, never solicited ideas from the team (which included two women who might have had a vague idea about weddings), and then demoralized everyone by throwing in the towel early.
Chris knew he was out of his element and out-experienced against Sandy, who could provide value immediately, perform without any resources except money, and do almost any job in a bridal-related organization.
Chris, who apparently is unable to convey even one thought without profanity, tried to shoot from the hip, and led his team directly to the boardroom.

 CRASS FACTS AND INFORMATION
This incident also prompted Crass to set up their own record label, Crass_Records, in order to retain full editorial control over their material, and "Reality Asylum" was shortly afterwards issued in a re-recorded and extended form as a 7" single.
The catalogue numbers of Crass Records releases were intended to represent a countdown to the year 1984 (eg, 521984 meaning "five years until 1984"), both the year that Crass stated that they would split up, and a date charged with significance in the anti-authoritarian calendar due to George_Orwell's novel of the same name (see 1984_(novel)).
In November 2002 several former members of Crass collaborated under the name The_Crass_Collective to arrange ''Your Country Needs You'', a concert of "voices in opposition to war" held at the Queen_Elizabeth_Hall on London's South Bank that included a performance of Britten's ''War_Requiem''.

 Part 1 - Backward Town
In April of 1980, Kevin was walking to Chris and Tom's house when he passed a building and heard punk rock blasting out into the street from inside.
Chuck came up with stage names for the boys to use: Chris Crass, Tom "The Bomb" Vomit, and whichever name Kevin decided to use that week (he said he used to change it every few practices because he thought the whole "punk name" thing was silly).
[The story goes that Chris was a fan of old movies, so the name "Grapes of Wrath" was chosen after a movie based on the John Steinbeck novel.] With that new name, the Grapes of Wrath played their first show August 27, 1983 at the KADAC Hall in Kelowna.

 Open Letter To Progressive/Left/Radical Activists to Help Gonzalez Win and Build Movement : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For a long time I've felt that Rahula Janowski and Criss Crass --especially Chris Crass -- are accurate expressions of the left -liberal sanctiomoniousness, upper-middle class narcissism and white-guilt sentimentality that predominates in what passes for an anarchist milieu in the SF Bay Area.
However, it is very unfortunate to see respected anarchist comrades such as Chris Crass blatantly compromise his political ideals for the dead end of electoralism.
I know Chris to be an activist with great integrity, and I trust he will accept the full implication of his recent turn to electoral politicking and not attempt to defend this postion while still claiming to be a principled anarchist.
