Tommy DOG: bass, guitar, electronics, nagging and overdubs.

Col. Plague Monkey: drums, suitcase organ and nudity
* vocals are handled in the order and manner in which we see fit. *
Influences
Our interests when we started in 1981 where pretty desperate.
For DOG: Sex Pistols, Suicide, Rudimentary Peni, Parliament-Funkadelic, The Beatles, Fear, Flipper, Velvet Underground, Stooges, Germs, The Mothers Of Invention, Plasmatics.
Mushroom was into Led Zeppelin and Plague Monkey was into early Hip Hop, Disco and P-funk. We all liked Rocky Horror and went every weekend because it was cheap, parent free and gave us something to do.
The period between 1978 and 1983 was very exciting. There were no rules and The Brain People were molding and formenting at a time when anything was possible.
Sounds Like
Depends on the day, the session, the record. Sounds like a moody record collection reinacted by angry deaf children.
BUY OUR SHIT
Hard copy or virtual, we deliver the evil to you
Since 1981 The Brain People have regularly not practiced, shown up for gigs and in most ways not acted like a band. There have been many bands who have claimed that the "can't play" in order to fit within some hipster primitivism movement such as Punk, we are the real thing, for better or worse.
My new album Movie Disaster Music is out now on Scruffy records and available on CD BABY, iTunes, Amazon.com etc.
Some have to dance, some have to kill, and I have to sell these fucking CDs
