Crying Nut first starting performing together in 1995 in clubs around Seoul before dropping their official debut album in 1999.
An incredibly well-known group in their home country, Crying Nut was honored with creating and recording the official Team Korea song for the 2002 World Cup that was held jointly in South Korea and Japan.
With seven studio albums to date, Crying Nut is one of Korea's top-selling rock bands of all time. Their latest album, Flaming Nuts, was released last June.
With two decades of experience behind them, Crying Nut is certainly not a show to miss. Those of you in California and Texas should really try to make it out to one of the upcoming eight performances - or see them at SXSW along with other Korean music stars Jay Park and 4Minute member HyunA.
