Formed in 1990 by Rose Elliott, Dave Jahn, Kurt Stephens, Terri O'Toole & Tommy Luckett they quickly became a staple on the Wormtown scene playing at W.A.G., Ralph's and Sir Morgan's Cove (now known as the Lucky Dog) and many other venues with such great bands as Bonehead, Boneyard, Childhood, Dr. Bewkenhiemer, Life Goes Wrong, Puddle, The Curtain Society, The Missionarys, and WAY too many others to mention.
BRG, as they are known by their many fans, stuck to their guns and fused goth/punk/rock/garage & grunge together to create their own unique sound fronted by the powerful vocal lead of Rose Elliott. Kurt Stephen's lead guitar also turned heads everytime he plugged in. His masterful playing infused with Terri's mean bass and Tommy's precise drumming were the perfect combination for Dave, Rose & Terri's thought-provoking lyrics.
In 1996, they went through a line-up change when Terri & Tommy left the band, (unfortunately), but thankfully, BRG picked up Dave Robinson on bass, Tony Pearl on drums and Elisa Kramer on percussion.
After releasing their self-titled CD, Dave left the band replaced by the very talented Scott Riccuti. the band parted ways, but still get together to play with each other. Literally.
