About This:
A single listen to a track off of Brother Big Bad’s first full-length release These Are Things You Already Know or a visit to one of their notoriously tight live shows leads to one inevitable conclusion: these boys love to play. Penned in equal parts by front-men “Sheriff” Andy Carroll (bass, vocals) and D.J. Phillips (guitar, vocals), the music of Brother Big Bad combines irreverent wit, frisky funk and undeniable melodic hooks. The result is an irresistible catalogue of original rock material that critics have called “eclectically unique” [Static Magazine] and “clever” [Blues Bunny] and that drummer Marc Bohn’s mom has described as “super-neat.” With an obvious enjoyment of their craft, an ardent and blossoming fan-base held in a close community with constant web updates and amusing blog postings, it is easy to see why accomplishments are beginning to pile up. Nearly 200 stations added them to their rotations in their first college radio campaign. They performed at the 2006 and 2007 Red Gorilla Music Fest in Austin, Texas and were selected out of hundreds of acts to participate in the 2006 CMEAS East Anglia Tour of England where they will return for a more expansive 2007 CMEAS UK Spring Tour.
