Much like fellow alternative rock/industrial band Nine Inch Nails, Crosby was the only member but found a touring band who knew the songs well enough to play with him live.
Crosby eventually left Rancho Cotate High School in Rohnert Park, California, to do home study and begin his own band, which he dubbed VAST. He nearly signed onto a guitar-based label Shrapnel, but turned it down to work on his budding songwriting skills. He often recorded home demos with nothing more than a guitar and a drum machine, sometimes a bass player with him as well. Growing up, Crosby spent his teen years in Humboldt County, California.
