Campus Christy is a collaboration between Stones Throw Records’ founder Chris Manak aka Peanut Butter Wolf (vocals) and Brian Ellis (instruments). Nearly 25 years after his 1999 release of My Vinyl Weighs a Ton, Manak has formed a brand new musical project, reinterpreting lesser-known tracks from the late ‘60s to early ‘80s. Campus Christy revives Manak’s high school garage band moniker, a niche ode to the past.
