Crash Course in Science (CCIS) is an electronic musical group that was formed in 1979 in Philadelphia by Dale Feliciello (lead vocals), Mallory Yago and Michael Zodorozny. The band was formed as a way to explore performance art and music, which the members desperately needed to express. Choosing toy instruments and live drums out of necessity, CCIS began to experiment with a series of analog recording devices. The instruments gave way to crude drum machines and 'Frankenstein' type home-made instruments.
