Crimson Boy

[b]Crimson Boy[/b] are an electronic duo that first emerged from the Post-Punk scene in Perth Australia circa 1983. Initially a trio under the name [b]Childhood's End[/b] (with Petar Zadraznik), Crimson Boy became known for both their brooding electronic pop and edgier experimental works. Heavy on string-machine atmospherics and clattering drum-machine, their sporadic gigs would eventually yield a 12” EP - [b]Hearts In Armour[/b] and a cassette release [b]Street Gods And Neon Dogs[/b]. In the latter part of the 80s they morphed into a darker, noisier entity before disbanding in 1990. Co-founder V.Valentini would continue solo under the CB moniker with the release of 1991's 12” double A-Side [b]Desolation Angel / Neon Dog[/b]. The ‘Melbourne era’ of this incarnation (1994-1996) would garner attention (including that of Chicago’s Wax Trax Records) for the heavy Industrial material that would eventually morph into the [b]Fate Razor[/b] project. In 2016 the original duo reformed with the founding of Perth Label [l=Lightarmour Editions]. Crimson Boy is [b]Andy Brown[/b] (Lead Vocals, Synthesizers, Rhythms) and [b]Vince Valentini[/b] (Programmes, Synthesizers, String Machines, Rhythms, 2nd Vocals).
