CHRIS ROSENAU

Normally he doesn’t have a beard, although once in the early 1990’s he saw the band Melvins in Madison, WI and Joe Preston had a kind of reverse mohawk goatee. . .like a regular goatee except with the middle of the chin shaved so what was on his face was tantamount to two thick hair spikes emerging from either side of his chin. Chris had one of those for a while after seeing that show, but hasn’t had much in the way of beards for a while. He might grow one again. If it happens it will definitely be in the winter. You will never see Chris Rosenau with a beard in the summer. Most of the people Chris has toured with didn’t have beards. Some did. When on tour, he prefers to sleep on the floor, with a pillow that has the word “mother” written on it in black magic marker. this specific pillow accompanies him on tour regardless of continent, distance, or inconvenience. Chris has played with and recorded all sorts of interesting people regardless of continent, distance, or inconvenience, as well. Some you might have heard of, some probably not. Most, again, didn’t have beards either. Some did. Chris thinks Hal Rammel’s beard suits Hal very well.

Chris appears in some fashion on most of the Crouton releases to date, having most notably contributed either fun or procrastination, and oftentimes both.
