BRENT'S BIO:

The first album I personally bought with my own scratch was Michael Jackson's "Thriller". This record (literally) spun on my turntable until I scratched it unplayable. I needed something new. Although disco satisfied my youthful craving for soul, it had no passion. So in trying to find the furthest thing from music my parents would own, an older guy in my neighborhood had given me tapes by the Sex Pistols, the Misfits, the Clash, the Ramones, Seven Seconds, The Meatmen, TSOL, and the Dead Kennedys (to name a few). I was in love. I wanted to hear more.

A few years later I met a guy that seemed confident he could sneak me into a show to see Dallas' own Course of Empire. This was the first concert I ever saw and this is where I determined I wanted to make music for the masses. Having been raised on a strict regimen of disco, I was magnetically drawn to play the bass.

Although I had no idea what I was doing, I jammed with an accomplished guitarist/dude who lived across street. He taught me where the notes were, which I've since forgotten, but at least I had a direction.

Years and many broken bones skateboarding later, I joined a band called Sons In Conflict. We played a house party where the attendees laughed and pointed at us. They were right ...we sucked. That band ended and I joined another band, and another, and another, and so on. The bands I played in include Greeny Peel's Sunday Split Gang, Stickpin, and Bedsore. At the end of my run with Bedsore I had thrown in the towel on Rock 'n Roll and didn't play for several years. Then I saw Dickey. He he gave me a disk of FFTN and I joined. We rocked all of Texas, Louisianna, Arkasas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and even played a week in Central America. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I am curently working with Matt Moseman and Micah Creel (of edgewater ) of a project called boynamedcircus. We hope to be playing shows by the summer...
