Members: Erik Kjelland, Nick Fry (4), Chad Thompson (4), Brad Reuber

Crimson Vim is a Madison based band that draws influences from modern rock to alternative rock to classic rock. Lead vocalist Erik Kjelland (formerly of Fallen Roadies) and bass guitarist Nick Fry (formerly of Middletown and Envy) joined forces to create music that fits in with modern music yet reflects the artists' other musical experiences. Lead guitarist Chad Thompson (of Baghdad Scuba Review) was added to the group and quickly poured his electro-fried groove into the stew. Finally, a rhythm master stepped out of the shadows with a jazz and punk background in the form of drummer Brad Reuber (formerly of Section 8).
