-The Smudge aka Bucko Crooks is a performance artist, sculptor, and noise musician from Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA.  He performs his works in live environments and also records experimental music under various monikers.  The Smudge uses a combination of theatrics, recording and playback techniques, and electronic gear in his work.  The moods of his projects range from serious to campy, violent and melancholic to funny and child-like.  The Smudge usually performs around the midwestern United States.  In 2010, The Smudge and a few friends began releasing music on the netlabel "Galactic Intolerance Records", and it now sports somewhere around 160 releases.  In late 2017, The Smudge and several other Milwaukee artists opened an art gallery and DIY studio venue called "Gold In The Fridge" in St. Francis Wisconsin.  It closed in 2019.
