He has performed at such hallowed musical grounds as Tier 3, CBGB's, Max's Kansas City and Artists Space; as well as had his work on display at prestigious venues like MoMA and The Whitney Museum of American Art.

He was a performance artist in the SoHo and Tribeca art scene before becoming an original member of the seminal No Wave[2] band DNA alongside Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori.

Crutchfield resumed Dark Day as a solo act in the late 1990s, returning to a familiar electronic sound but with a noticeable natural progression.

The book, as its name implies, focuses solely on the No Wave scene and features many sections on both DNA and Dark Day, as well as performance and promotional photographs of Crutchfield from that time period.
