2010, Starting in 2005 under the name Suicide Holiday, Krashkarma has independently booked 12 national tours, played over 250 shows, including Germany, produced two EPs and sold over 5000 units out of the back of their ´78 Dodge Van. This did not go unnoticed in the Hollywood scene. The Los Angeles based band was formed by Ralf Dietel after his 30 day career as Nine Inch Nails guitar player. The producer/singer/guitarist moved to the US from Germany where he shared the stage with bands such as Foo Fighters and Rammstein. On the drums and vocals is the award winning Nicole Skistimas, whose dangerous style and sound are emblematic to the core vision of Krashkarma: a pretty girl who doesn't just play the drums, she destroys them.
