[PAR] [TLE] Crazyhead [SEP] Crazyhead are an English garage punk band from Leicester, England.  Though lumped in with the largely media-created grebo scene, they were more influenced by the garage rock of the late 1960s, as well as bands like The Ramones, The Stooges and Captain Beefheart.  They have often described themselves as an ""urban bastard blues band"", and their songs range in theme from trenchant social commentary to the surreal, but always with an underlying vein of black humour. [PAR] [TLE] Captain Beefheart [SEP] Don Van Vliet ( , born Don Glen Vliet; January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and artist best known by the stage name Captain Beefheart.  His musical work was conducted with a rotating ensemble of musicians called the Magic Band (1964–1982), with whom he recorded 13 studio albums.  Noted for his powerful singing voice and his wide vocal range, Van Vliet also played the harmonica, saxophone, and numerous other wind instruments.  His music integrated blues, rock, psychedelia, and free jazz with contemporary experimental composition and the avant-garde.  Beefheart was also known for often constructing myths about his life and for exercising an almost dictatorial control over his supporting musicians.
