Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Darby Crash was born Jan Paul Breahm in December 1959. He had a very rough childhood, with his biological father leaving him, and his older brother dying of a herion overdose. In 1972 he set out to find his true father, tragically to find he was also dead. In 1976 he met Pat Smear and thusly formed Sofistifuck and the Revlon Spam Queens. They then changed it to The Germs. The Germs became a huge Los Angeles Punk band. Crash broke up the Germs (who once including future Go-Go Belinda Carlisle) only to die of a herion overdose in 1980. Right above his head he wrote "Here Lies Darby C..." He died before finishing his last name. His legacy has carried on past the release of The Germs (MIA): The Complete Anthology, in 1993.
