Hailing from small town Mullet Alberta, the origins of the CCF are mired in legend and mystery. Attempting to trace their history is a futile endeavor. Due to fluctuating line ups, mid air collisions, hospitalizations and unexplained disappearances it's hard to pinpoint what, or who the CCF are. But, we'll try.

What we do know is that, among other things, the Cripple Creek Fairies are a rock & roll combo based out of Calgary Alberta. Beyond that, it's hard to say. Further speculation leaves you treading on thin ice.

If we roll the clock back a few years we find records indicating what appears to be the first performance in Calgary by a fresh faced young band called the Cripple Creek Fairies. Sharing the bill was Deadbolt, known far and wide as "The Scariest Band In The World". We know there was an altercation of some sort involving, as one witness put it, "something to do with the Deadbolt van parked in such a way that blocked one of the CCF ultralights." Words were exchanged, Roundup was sprayed & eventually Voodoo curses were cast. Deadbolt continued on with their tour and the CCF dropped off the radar for several months.

When they finally reappeared, sharing the stage with Nashville Pussy & Tricky Woo something had changed. Blain Cartwright of NP says, "Them boys were a little off. I can't quite say how but they just had this kinda' far away look in their eyes like they were up to something but maybe didn't quite know what. And somehow they all got nosebleeds. Right outta the blue. It was fuckin' spooky if you ask me. We got the hell outta there.
