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,[1] their primary audience was in the punk and noise scene dominant in South Minneapolis at the time.
During their three-and-a-half years together, they released two albums (Dress for the Future and You're Feeling So Attractive) and an EP (3x3x3 1/2).
Eleven years after their break-up, Calvin Krime played a reunion show at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on September 13, 2009.
[3] Tillmann, Kelson and Ralph also reunited to play The Amphetamine Reptile 25th Anniversary gala on August 29, 2010.
