Rain Man Sues Krewella For $5 Million

(Radio.com) EDM crossover act Krewella scored a hit with the 2013 re-release of the single "Alive" (it hit No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100), but now the band is embroiled in a bitter internal lawsuit, with founding member Kris "Rain Man" Trindl accusing sisters Yasmine and Jahan Yousaf of forcing him out for getting sober.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Trindl (who was given the nickname "Rain Man" by a fellow musician "because he predicted his music would bring much success, and so it did," per the suit) is seeking at least $5 million in damages for being removed from the group, as it violates an oath the trio made to "put aside any other career plans outside of music and commit to Krewella."

All three members got matching "6-8-10″ tattoos to commemorate the date. "From March of 2012 until March of 2013, it was non-stop music, good times and partying for the members of Krewella, and the money started rolling in," the lawsuit states.

"Kris and the Yousaf sisters were public about their drinking and partying, posting on the Internet video dispatches from the road that only served to stoke their popularity with an ever-growing worldwide fan base."
