The Crust Brothers started out on December 5, 1997, when Pavement's frontman Steve Malkmus got together with the members of the Seattle/Montana trio of Silkworm. They played a benefit show together in Seattle, and the recording of this show was later turned into their first album, titled Marquee Mark (Telemomo). Malkmus is known for his brilliant, arcane songwriting and his powerful, precision guitar playing. Although the name of Steve Malkmus might steal some of the thunder from the lesser-known Silkworm trio, don't be fooled; the threesome posses a continuous energy that drives their instruments with confidence and delivers their songs with surprisingly introspective lyrics.
