Crazy 8s (band)

During their earliest days, they were notorious for their raucous frat house party gigs[citation needed] and mostly covered songs by their favorite bands.

Later in 1982, Todd Duncan, former sax player of Eugene rock band "The Sneakers", proposed that The Sweet Cheeks open for Billy Rancher and the Unreal Gods at La Bamba's in Portland.

[5]The original Law and Order album [1984], is missing two tracks "Jump Rock" and I'm Ok Your'e Ok" written by the bands then manager Joe Johnson aka JamminJoe/JamminJoe The True Smooth Saxophonist.

The Crazy 8s were written up in several newspapers, magazines and other news sources, including Rolling Stone Other, The Oregonian, The Rocket, The Seattle Times, The Chicago Sun-Times, the Scene Magazine, ISU Daily, The Varsity, Two Louies, This Week, The Corvallis Gazette-Times, The Mast, Billboard and Willamette Week.

[8] The Crazy 8s were the only independent release to have a song to reach number 69 (or higher) in Tower Record's Pulse Chainwide Sales Chart.

The cover of the band's Law and Order album has featured a series of cartoons by award-winning cartoonist Jack Ohman . Ohman's image for the original issue of the album, a caricature of President Ronald Reagan as a gunslinger toting nuclear missiles in his holsters, has been updated for successive reissues of the album. The most recent version of the Law and Order cover, for the album's 20th Anniversary, includes caricatures of Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush , Bill Clinton , and George W. Bush .
