The Crate Lung Co-Op Tour consists of six people, a lot of gear, and a twelve-person van negotiating 5 states. We will stop in various cities and towns to play music/set up shop in galleries, house parties, art events, and other venues. We will be selling toys and crafts, books, clothing, prints, and limited edition merchandise at each stop. We may even leave an installation in our wake.

The Co-Op is: John LaMonica, Cristie Gunn, Casey Blandford, Iris Moulton, Hallie Rose Taylor, and Cein Watson. 6 friends living in Salt Lake who use our time to make stuff: toys, drawings, prints, pages of writing, clothing, music, mixtapes, graffiti, and paintings. Work from other Salt Lake artists is being brought along as well, to include clothing, video art, prints, and other merchandise. The mission of The Crate Lung Co- Op Tour is to bring people together, to give us space to collaborate on new work, and then to expand into other cities.

We hope to continue our collaborations on the road, and to document our experience for future trips out, and for those who may hope to attempt the same someday.
