The Brothers Gross have been involved in music for the past 10 years almost respectively. They first got started into playing when Kyle received a drumset in 1998 as did Tim a guitar and amp. After a few months of playing they formed the City Water Bandits whom would go far with the band on its 5 year span. They did a small East Coast tour going all over to states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, CBGBs in New York City, as well as a few other places. Other bands they were involved in were The Viscids who played all over the midwest, and Bright Hot who only had a short stint for a few months and played very few shows, it was revived a few times with other members but soon fell apart. Last Fall the Brothers Gross reunited as a 2 piece with a plan to record songs that were old sounding rock 'n' roll pop songs reminiscent of The Zeros, The Modern Lovers, and Faces. Their results were the album Radioville. They also have a 7" release due out soon on Silly Girl Records. They're planning to have more videos and songs, originals and covers, posted all the time on the myspace so be sure to check back for new updates. -Earl Taggart, Manager
