***CRAYOLA SUMMER was created in 1990, a nickname given to SIMON whose band, THE COLEGATES had recently split up, because at the time he was obsessed with The Red Crayola and had a taste for recreational substances. Simon initially used the Crayola name for his solo releases, which includes twenty five albums on various cassette labels throughout the 1990s, but the nickname stuck and by time time he had put SARANDON together it was pretty much his given name. During the '90s Crayola appeared on over one hundred and twenty albums with various different bands. Recording with STEWART ANDERSON (BOYRACER) as THE SAFE DISTANCE got Simon excited about making music again and it was because of this that he started writing the songs that now appear on the Emotional Response release, "I Know Who We Are," which is the first Crayola Summer recording for fifteen years. Psych-pop with lysergic C86s leanings. Released as a color vinyl Flexidisc, full color sleeve, with additional six-song download.
