Sounds LikeReview of Thrash Funk from proggnosis.com by MJBrady:

"Little Brian is a band that is taking the challenge of integrating the magic of slick old school funk, some fusion, and some metal combining it into a highly energetic, addictive musical artform that has that magical quality that will make you want to hear it over and over.

Ear Candy is a term meant for music that has a contagious effect on the listener, easily entering the cranium and exciting the aural senses. Thrash Funk, the aptly named cd by Little Brian is indeed, ear candy of the highest order. This unique band out of Austin, Texas has no less than 14 members listed in their performer credits, and they manage to utilize each musician in a manner that really gives one the impression that they can make a club start bumping, and at the same time dazzle you with some excellent playing, only to kick you in the rear with some aggressive metal breaks. I really have not heard anyone really tackle a style quite like this, it's almost what I would expect if Tower of Power were to jam with the Brecker Brothers and Metallica, and leave the singers at home.

It's music that has intense grooves, great funky bass and drums, a tight and dynamic horn section, and best of all, balls, this stuff is just solid from the first song to the last. I am sure there are some readers here that would be most impressed as I am with Little Brian's music. Now about the cover, and the image the band displays, I really don't know what to say about it, there is a story in the cd sleeve that can better explain the origins of the band, and the fact that the music is actually a backdrop for the novel that goes along with it, so, there is more to this band that what you are hearing, yet for me, hearing this band is enough to allow me to highly recommend this cd to fans of fresh, funky and well formed music."

   About Little Brian



From the ashes of what became left of deep funk pushed forth, in a writhing dispute with the evils of the universe, a dark tree bearing purple fruit. Spying this spontaneous life, a jealous succubus exhalted the nubile creation to musical perfection until slow greasy tears of joyous harmony dripped in divine soulful weeping. In aching anticipation, the succubus waited for the first shake of a branch when the tree came to pure musical bliss—at the first sign of laughter, she struck for silence, splitting the tree into two equal parts of groove and power: Sam (Bass) and Matt (Guitar). Leaving it for dead, she continued on her mission to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting, unaware that before her assumed destruction, one fruit had fallen from the tree, life still pulsing through its purple veins. In a pure-hearted attempt, one child of funk, with soul beyond his years, sat beneath this tree and meditated. Reflecting in its visage the face of the demon as an eternal scar, the fruit throbbed and rocked until it became a man. A cackling of laughter thundered throughout the sky as greasy rain fell onto the child and man below. The tree twisted and turned with strength gained from the child of funk, Selden (guitar), until it reformed, thrashing its branches back and forth, and then calmly over its own child.

“Little Brian,” the tree said in deep laughter.

Grasping for order in disorder, strangers came to the tree, trying to complete what all knew to be an absence. After many a trial, there appeared a stranger called Butch (drums) carrying two sticks which beat against the ground behind him in effortlessly metered tapping. Standing before the group, he held the sticks up and placed them together, forming an exact copy of the tree of thrash funk. When the two sticks met, they exploded into great golden light that seeped into four places around the nucleus that was the tree and its family. Four more men of spontaneous brass combustion sprouted from the wise soil and took their places. They were: Jay (Trumpet), Clay (Tenor Sax), Nick (Trombone), and Kazuki (Bari Sax).

Instilling in Little Brian an exploration of the dynamic between funk and metal, sometimes dripping with greasy funk, and other times opting for a no holds barred thrash metal attack, the band taught him all they knew of the power of good (pure musical creation) until he was ready to be set loose to find the demon…and destroy it.
