The Red Krayola

Country: United States

The Red Krayola is an American experimental rock group formed in 1966 at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, by Mayo Thompson and Frederick Barthelme with Steve Cunningham. Originally spelled Red Crayola, the band changed its name after a complaint from the crayon maker. Thompson has led it ever since, through psychedelic free-form noise, post-punk and long collaborations with the conceptual art group Art & Language.
