Hazel (band)

[citation needed] Rather than singing together in harmony, Krebs and Bleyle often sang completely different parts that answered or intertwined with one another.

Often dressed in fanciful costumes, Nemo, a tall, bearded man, cavorted crazily about the stage, climbing atop speaker cabinets and swinging heavy objects through the air.

Intermittently plagued by personality conflicts,[citation needed] Hazel formally broke up on February 13, 1997[citation needed], following their last show in their hometown of Portland, Oregon, though they generally have played a couple of shows a year since then.

Bleyle, now based in Los Angeles, continues to perform around the United States, including reunion shows with punk band Team Dresch; Family Outing, a duo with her brother Allen; touring with Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls; and singing jazz standards in L.A. dives.

Smith was the founding principal of Validus Preparatory Academy, a public high school in The Bronx, New York.
