Josh Windmiller and Tim Dixon met while working together in their hometown of Santa Rosa, California. The duo soon began writing songs together, sharing a common vision of "a traveling vaudevillian troupe of music, theater and circus performance."[1]In 2008 the band opened for The Devil Makes Three at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California.[3]
Many of The Crux's first performances were at a property in Santa Rosa called The Boogie Room & Gardens. "The Boogie Room" was DIY venue and home, hosting live music, theater, and workshops. The Crux supported the Boogie Room with many of their projects.[1][4]
Josh and Tim founded a production company called Bite the Hand Productions to organize The Crux's events. Bite the Hand was also the producer of a monthly zine called The Pharmakon,[5] as well as the "Insect Carnival" festivals at the Boogie Room in 2007 and 2008. The Crux headlined both festivals, and showcased the "Crux Tent Revival," a torchlit gospel set, both years.[4]
The first year of The Crux and the Boogie Rom & Gardens is documented in the film Pharmakon (2009).[6] '
