| About David Brogan |
David Brogan specializes in variety, eclecticism and groove. The music he creates encompasses everything from poppy jam-rock, straight ahead funk to synth drone ensembles. Brogan started learning both piano and percussion at the age of seven. His piano studies took him in the direction of music theory, songwriting and composition, and drum studies at UCSB, where he hooked up with the west-coast jam outfit ALO- pulling triple duty as drummer, songwriter and occasional lead singer. He has recorded two albums with the band, Fly Between Falls, and Roses and Clover, both for Brushfire Records / Universal.
In January of 2008 Brogan headed into the studio to record material he'd been developing over the last few years. Tim Bluhm, lead singer and guitarist of California cult band The Mother Hips, produced and appeared on the record. Ranging from atmospheric acoustic folk to pseudo arena-rock anthems, the songs on the album reflect Brogan's continued dedication to the eclectic. He also plays most of the instruments on the album, which features guest artists Jackie Greene, Paul Hoaglin, Tim Young, bandmate Dan Lebowitz and others. The album, titled Thunderbird / Sun Transformation, is slated for release in mid-October of 2008. Hoaglin and Young will also join Brogan on live dates throughout the rest of the year
