chris began playing solo in late 1999, at the prompting of good pal doug mccombs, opening shows for brokeback and nobokazu takemura. initially, the shows were for solo electric guitar and tambourine, but chris eventually added vocals, and finally switched to acoustic guitar in 2002. with the release of "red cities" in june 2002, chris played several shows on the east coast with a seven-piece band; but the live show, at the moment, is solo, and exactly like what can be heard on the 2003 cd "wandering as water." chris also has a 4-song ep out called "my confidante + 3, on 12XU records.
CONSONANT is a band showcasing the songwriting talents of CLINT CONLEY and HOLLY ANDERSON. its latest lp, "love and affliction," was released august 2003 on fenway recordings. videos of the band live and in the studio, as well as audio clips of the record, are online at the fenway site. clint is in the seminal band MISSION OF BURMA, while holly has worked as a writer and visual artist for many years in boston and new york. CONSONANT includes clint on guitar and vocals, winston bramen (count me outs, fuzzy, ex-come) on bass, matt kadane (the new year, silkworm) on drums, and mr. brokaw on guitar and vocals. consonant's debut lp was released in the spring of 2002 on fenway and was named the local record of the year by the boston phoenix.
THE NEW YEAR showcases the songwriting of matt and bubba kadane, best known for their work with the dallas band BEDHEAD. THE NEW YEAR includes the kadanes, peter schmidt on guitars, mike donofrio (saturnine) on bass, josh mckay on keyboards, and chris b. on drums. the band has two recordings: 2001's "newness ends," and the 2004 release "the end is near." both are out on touch and go records.
THE EMPTY HOUSE COOPERATIVE is a free-floating collective of musicians, spearheaded and masterminded by multi-instrumentalist DAVID MICHAEL CURRY (willard grant conspiracy, thalia zedek, will oldham, boxhead ensemble) and specializing in improvised music. the EHC has existed for several years and includes stalwart members of the music communities of boston, new york, montreal and louisville, ky. there are two recordings available to date: the full-length cd "improvisational music," on hinah records in france (a trio of curry, brokaw and cellist jonah sacks); and the track "lilacs" on the "acuarela songs" compilation from acuarela records, gijon, spain. hinah's web site also has downloadable mp3s of the ehc. brokaw, curry and sacks performed with the american repertory theatre in march 2003, in the production of "highway ulysses."
EVAN DANDO is a singer/songwriter based in new york city, formerly of THE LEMONHEADS. evan's solo debut, "baby i'm bored," was released in march 2003. chris played guitar and drums on several numbers, and penned the song "my idea" with tom morgan. chris began accompanying evan in june of 2001 at the fleadh festival in london, and since that time has toured with evan as both a duo and with a full band in the US, UK and australia.
PULLMAN is an instrumental combo and collaboration between bundy brown (ex-tortoise, bastro), doug mccombs (tortoise, brokeback, 11th dream day), curtis harvey (rex, letter e), and mr. brokaw. the group has been joined in performance by drummer tim barnes (jim o'rourke, silver jews), and has 2 lp's on thrill jockey.
JUMBO is a boston-based collective of musicians playing, primarily, circus music. the ensemble has existed since roughly 1995 and on any given night includes 20 to 40 members. performances are generally quite spirited and occasionally "ramshackle." JUMBO has "tackled" (sometimes quite literally) "the magical mystery tour," "the nutcracker," and an evening of film soundtracks. an extremely collectible 7-inch and even more collectible cassette of "the nutcracker" can be found, somewhere. bookings are sporadic and cause for great merry-making.
