The group was formed when its members, now college-aged, were in middle school. As high school juniors — then performing as Panda — the band regularly sold out Bottom Of The Hill, a legendary breeding ground for San Francisco Bay Area talent.
The group’s three-song demo garnered steady airplay on KITS (Live105), KSAN (The Bone), and KALX (Berkeley). The media attention pushed the band onto larger stages (at Slims and Great American Music Hall, to name a few). Live 105 music director Aaron Axelson affectionately called the band “the pride of Piedmont,” name-checking the band’s small northern California hometown.
Guitarist Jonny Flannes cites the Beatles and Queen as the group's two biggest influences.

Crazy Jane
Dizzy Balloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a long time girl,
Oh such a long time girl
Maybe Jane, I'm just a fool for love
But I'll take you any day
Well, I'll take you any way
Maybe Jane I only go so much
A quarter short,
Been saving up for your time
Yeah I'm just crazy enough
To try and get you to love,
Me!
Crazy Jane, You're driving me insane
Na na na na, every day
You run away and I play the chase game
Crazy Jane, my question's very plain
Oh you're a silly girl, but will you girl
Quit your crazy games?
You're my Crazy Jane
It's been a long time girl
Oh such a long time girl
Maybe Jane I'm just a fool for you
I'm sleeping on the grass
Day dreaming during class
Maybe Jane I lose my cool with you
I st-st-stutter when I speak
And my knees start growing weak
But I'm just crazy enough
To try and get you to love,
Me!
Crazy Jane, You're driving me insane
Na na na na, every day
You run away and I play the chase game
Crazy Jane, my question's very plain
Oh you're a silly girl, but will you girl
Quit your crazy games?
Jane said to me the other day:
"Times are changing"
Things may not ever be the same
Never be the same
Jane said to me the other day:
"Don't keep waiting"
Things may not ever be the same
Never be the same
But I'm just crazy enough
To try and get you to (love)
I need love (love)
Said I need love (love)
Try to get you to love
Do, do-do, do, do-do
Me!
Crazy Jane, You're driving me insane
Na na na na, every day
You run away and I play the chase game
Crazy Jane, my question's very plain
Oh you're a silly girl, but will you girl
Quit your crazy games?
It's been a long time girl,
Crazy, Crazy Jane
Oh such a long time girl
You're my Crazy Jane
