Crimson House was founded in Namibia in 2010 by Arno Van Zyl & Riaan Smit.
Their mission was to find within themselves a sound that would give them the feeling of bliss they sought in their music. They recruited Christoph de Chevonnes Vrugt on drums and Jacques Jansen Van Rensburg on bass. This rhythm section was completely different from other blues bands as they were more familiar with punk and metal. The music then took a direction no-one saw coming. It went from blues, to bluegrass western punk with a Tom Waits/Joe cocker styled vocals soaked in gypsy undertones. This unique factor and a relentless gig schedule moulded them into a live musical act that could not be contained.
