cEvin Key		Kevin Crompton				bleurgh
cEvin Key		Kevin Crompton		Poly-instrumentist - including drums & percussions - for the canadian industrial band Skinny Puppy and founding member, Kevin Crompton used the pseudonym cEvin Key for 2 reasons: 1) The lyricist and singer, Nivek Ogre, is also named Kevin! 2) To avoid legal issues with his former band, Image En Vogue, in which he was still a member of as a drummer in the early days of Skinny Puppy. cEvin = Kevin, with a "c" coming from his last name "Crompton"; Key = "K" coming from his first name "Kevin"... Furthermore, cEvin Key pronounced "Seven Key", which is a joke: an octave on the piano is composed of 7 keys (C,D,E,F,G,A,B). Yep, cEvin was the keyboardist when Skinny Puppy was only a duo. Since the early 80s, Kevin Crompton is only known as cEvin Key no matter what musical project he's associated with.		the Grey
