He has not yet been approved to enter the United States at this point of time.

KidCrusher was first recognized by the world when he released his first home made music video (A Dirty Fuckin Murder) released on the internet in 2005. It was a featured article by “Something Awful“, which not only delivered KC thousands of negative comments and hate mail, but traffic from millions of fans from the underground. KidCrusher then recorded his debut studio album Tormented Mutation in June 2006 and it was charted on the Awesam Music SA Top 10 Independent Charts at #3, right under The Hilltop Hoods. Which gave him the motivation to create an endless discography to entertain the world.

In 2007 KC wrote a single for “The Disturbed Movie” An Independent Horror Movie by Strongman Pictures Australia, The Director of the film Daniel Armstrong then produced a high definition music video on the set of the movie with KidCrusher in Melbourne, Australia featuring make up and special effects from Justin Dix who recently designed the drones on the set of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The Video was reviewed and KC was interviewed by FANGORIA (Americas Leading Horror Movie Magazine). The single was entitled “Meet The Monstors” featured on KidCrusher’s “Cannibal Clown” album.

In 2009 KidCrusher accomplished his first Australian Tour entitled Tunnel Runner Down Under Tour featuring special guests including The Berzerker from Melbourne Australia. The Tour consisted of dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Queensland and Sydney during April 2009. The tour was completely booked, paid for, hosted and managed by him self independently. In 2010 KidCrusher announced he is working with a full Shock Rock, Death Metal Band called KcaveMen on an album entitled Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums, KC has been working on lead vocals, guitar and production for the band. During the month of June 2010 a storm clouded over Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Queensland. When KidCrusher’s side project band KcaveMen were defrosted and set out on tour to promote there debut studio album Gondwanaland featuring Todd Hansen from The Berzerker on drums and on tour. With a successful independent tour, booked, managed and paid for by KidCrusher and his fellow band mates and local support acts HEADKASE which also features Todd Hansen on drums. KC said in interviews “The band started out as a collaboration between my self and Todd Hansen and it just blew up from there, I’ve always wanted to have a band full of committed, good people, and that’s what I’ve finally found“. The band is only said to be KC’s side project, how ever it’s doing really well for that. KcaveMen will re-appear from time to time around Australia and sometime in the near future embark around the world for another tour.

Kcavemen are a dream come true. All crazy make-up and flailing hair and fantastically aggressive stage presence. Having said that, if you’re the kind of person who requires nothing more from music than “brutality” and wild visuals, then Kcavemen are YOUR band! Brutal as fuck, yes…aesthetically pleasing, hell NO. They prove suitably entertaining for a spell, though by their set’s end I find myself looking for other sources of amusement… - Michael Bowser, Music Vice

2011 marked the release of KidCrusher’s side project ” The Grinch ” which also followed a music video for the single ” The Naughty List ” which was Produced & Directed by Strongman Pictures who produced ” Meet The Monstors “, It was a side project put together to revise the single ” The Grinch On A Dope Pinch ” which was featured on the album ” Stoned as a Mother Fucker “. With so much feedback from the split personality or gimmick which KidCrusher portrays Jim Carey‘s Version of Dr. Sues The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. The album was very well reviewed and came back with a lot of feedback so this may not be the end of The Grinch. Over 2011, since KC was chained from working International shows for a few more years, he worked on Tour Management, opening “Freak Show Touring” and hosted an Australian Tour for Europe’s Clown Core Kings Bawdy Festival, and later on in the year he booked and hosted the Hopsin Australian Tour with Chitty Bang Touring, then in early 2012 won two support slots to open for the Hed(p.e.) & Jeffrey Nothing (Mushroomead) Australian Hed2Head Tour with KillRockStar Entertainment aka Big Dog.

After the last tour, KC has been recording with BubZombie in The Cave Recording Studio in Adelaide South Australia for his master-project “Metal Murder 3D“. Which is labelled to be a “Musical Film” The musical film is a film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film’s characters, though in some cases they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate “production numbers”. The feature film, followed by a 2CD Digi-pack product available after the pay-per-view on the release date, speculated for early 2013.
