Breaking news this morning as Crazy Town, the 2000’s era group who you might remember for the massive hit Butterfly announced that their frontman shifty shellshock whose real name is Seth Binzer, died at his home on Monday. He was 49.
Crazy Town was best known for its 2000 hit song "Butterfly," which peaked No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song would sample one time tour mates and close friends of the group Red Hot Chili Peppers 1989 song Pretty Little Ditty from mothers milk. The song would also top the charts in 7 other countries. Crazy Town’s debut album, “The Gift of Game,” sold more than 1.5 million copies. In a strange twist the group claimed they never wanted to release butterfly as the lead single
Guitarist Kraig "Squirrel" Tyler would explain to an interviewer: "We knew all along we didn't want to release 'Butterfly' first because we didn't want to be known as the band that does 'Butterfly'. We are looking at this like we want to have a career. That isn't who we are".[3]
The critical reception to butterfly was mixed. VH1 named it the the 34th "Most Awesomely Bad Song Ever" by VH1. but spin labelled it as the 13th best nu-metal song.
Shellshock for his part struggled with addiction throughout his music career. The singer appeared on the reality TV shows "Celebrity Rehab" for two seasons and "Sober House" for another two. He would credit Anthony Kedisi, frontman of the CHili Peppers of helping him with him get sober recalling to rolling stone “Anthony found me and took me to lunch — where I tried to borrow money from him so I could get high. I didn’t finish my rampage for a couple of days, but he showed me that I had people who were worried and cared about me. Anthony’s this angel who appeared in my life.”
Crazy Town would break up in 2003 after their sophomore effort, “Darkhouse,” was a commercial failure. They would eventually reunite, releasing their latest album 2015’s The Brimstone Sluggers. Many would brand the band as one hit wonders as none of their releases lived up to “Butterfly”. Just last year, pop-rock singer Gayle interpolated the song for her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, “butterflies.” No additional details regarding the circumstances of his death have been revealed.
