- The Red Krayola (formerly The Red Crayola) was a psychedelic, avant-garde rock band from Houston, Texas, formed by art students at the University of St. Thomas (Texas) in 1966. The band was led by singer/guitarist and visual artist Mayo Thompson, along with drummer Frederick Barthelme (brother of novelist Donald Barthelme) and Steve Cunningham. Their work prefigured punk and the no wave scene in 1980s New York City. They made noise rock, psychedelia and occasionally folk/country songs and instrumentals in a DIY fashion, an approach that presaged the lo-fi aesthetic of many 1990s US indie rock groups. Reviewing the band has produced conflicted results - in an extremely positive review from Pitchfork Media, critic Alex Lindhardt wrote "It's a band that has no idea how to play its instruments. In fact, they don't even know what instruments are, or if the guitarist has the ability to remain conscious long enough to play whatever it is a 'note' might be. " He added, "This is a band that was paid ten dollars to stop a performance in Berkeley. If Berkeley's not having it, you know you're in for rough sledding. " Thompson has continued using the name, in its legally required permutation The Red Krayola, for his musical projects since.
- Red Crayola (transformé en Red Krayola après 1968 pour des raisons légales vis-à-vis de la société de fournitures de dessin) était un groupe de rock expérimental et psychédélique texan, qui débuta dans les années 1960, formé autour de la personnalité de Mayo Thompson; ce dernier a continué à utiliser le nom pour ses projets musicaux ultérieurs, centrés autour d'un rock d'avant-garde, très singulier, proche des travaux de Pere Ubu et source d'inspiration pour les groupes de post-punk et de post-rock.
- I Red Crayola sono un gruppo rock psichedelico e d'avanguardia formato a Houston, Texas, da due studenti d'arte dell'università di St. Thomas nel 1966. Il gruppo era costituito dal cantante/chitarrista, nonché pittore, Mayo Thompson e dal polistrumentista Rick Barthelme. Il lavoro dei Red Crayola mise le basi per il punk rock e per la scena no wave degli anni '80 a New York. Thompson ha continuato ad usare questo nome (modificato in The Red Krayola per evitare problemi legali con l'omonima azienda americana produttrice di colori a pastello) anche per i suoi progetti musicali esterni alla band. I Red Crayola erano un gruppo che fondeva il primo noise e la psichedelia, a cui venivano aggiunte, occasionalmente, delle parti strumentali tipiche del folk/country, in un approccio alla musica che anticipò di diversi anni il lo-fi degli anni '90. Nonostante l'importanza storica e precursiva del gruppo però, i The Red Crayola non furono mai ben visti dalla critica del loro tempo, e vennero riconosciuti solo sul finire degli anni '80.
