THE BRUTES

Bio:

The double Gordons & Jim have played in a vast array of bands, including THE SINISTER URGE, BANGTWISTER, THE CAMPUS TRAMPS, ONE GOD UNIVERSE, GLEN OR GLENDA, MACROCOSMICA, a Black Flag covers band called SIX PACK, THE UNDERGROUND APES, THE GOLDEN GUINEAS, BUG POWDER aka COLD SICK, BULB, BUBBLEWRAP HOLOCAUST, TROUSERED, THE GREASE MONKEYS, and THE POISON SISTERS, but eventually decided playing this kinda dumb stuff is more fun. This is a real cool poster we did for a show that got cancelled... The Brutes avoid politics in most instances, BUT we are affiliated with and wholeheartedly support the Lunatic Liberation And Rehabilitation Front (LLARF).
