CRX Booking Agency Profile
The Strokes' Nick Valensi, Ralph Alexander, Brad Oberhofer, Jon Safley and Darian Zahedi make up the Los Angeles-based band CRX.
The band started up and put out their first record, "New Skin." The album was Valensi's first solo attempt after leaving The Strokes and was largely composed by him. Ways To Fake It and Broken Bones, two singles from the album, were released along with it.
Valensi encouraged increased cooperation by asking Zahedi and Safley to assist him in writing tracks based on the music they were listening to while touring for "New Skin" in order to promote better teamwork. A New Wave-influenced vibe was introduced into the band's music with the release of their single "Love Me Again."
Their second album, titled "PEEK," had three hits, including "We're All Alone," "Falling" and "Get Close," and drew from further New Wave inspirations like Love Me Again.
PEEK builds on the sound that CRX developed on New Skin to escape the dreaded sophomore slump. By including additional individuals in the songwriting process, the ensemble expands its toolkit with fresh concepts and sounds. PEEK goes through several distinct genres, startling the listener with each track. Influences range from David Bowie's Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) to the Talking Heads' Remain in Light..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking CRX to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like CRX in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking CRX or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
CRX's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking CRX for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book CRX, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing CRX. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate CRX booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book CRX for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final CRX booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will CRX charge for an event. An example fee to book CRX is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the CRX agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The CRX manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book CRX for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the CRX agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book CRX, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the CRX booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for CRX, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
