   About The Brigands
About the Brigands: The Brigand brothers started playing the rock and roll in Malden MA in the early 1980’s. Rusty and Brian teamed up with brothers Bart and Chris to form the Bouncers. Yes, the Brigands were known as the Bouncers back in the day, reflecting both their employment of choice as well as their favorite pastime. Their first gig was at Jasper’s in Somerville, MA, where the Bouncers opened a homecoming for Robert Ellis Oral. Their early shows featured the band playing Sex Pistols covers and stage diving at terribly inappropriate times. Over the years the brothers have suffered three chipped teeth, five broken noses, a cracked jaw and four broken knuckles, mostly at each others hands. Amazingly, this foolishness led to a stretch of Boston-area shows at Jasper’s, Jumbos, Storyville, Chet’s Last Call, the Rat, the Channel and the Paradise. The brothers decided to take on the family name in the latest incarnation of the band, and out of the ashes of the Bouncers, the Brigands were formed in the late 1990s, delivering a pulverizing mix of 70's and 80's Mass Ave scene covers, as well as Brigands originals. Not much has changed since the early days, however. The brothers clearly enjoy playing together, but also wary of their inclination toward nasty disagreements. They often spend their entire night’s receipts on bar tabs, emergency room fees and sterile gauze.   The Brigands' "She's Mine" is featured on a stock car racing site, Purestock?? check it out and ask them for more Brigands. http://purestock.tv/index.php..........................................
