BEATLANTA BAND PROFILE – Brain Box
BRAINBOX
Matthew Chenoweth – vocals, guitar
Eric Young – drums, vocals
Bruce Butkovich – bass, vocals
Bio from their website – Brain Box is musical food for a hungry mind, cooking up what some consider the most powerful music ever written. Luxurious sounds for the modern hedonist – adroitly sidestepping the cookie-cutter garbage littering our collective aural sidewalks. Their shimmering waves of emotional baggage are really fun to go through, while curious undergarment-like rhythms pulsate through the sock drawer of the imagination. Brain Box truly offers solace to the disheartened and comfort to those who look boldly to the future.
Three fantastic musicians – Matt (lead vox/guitars), Eric (drums/vox) and Bruce (bass/vox) – play with an infectious energy that explodes off the stage. The band leaves an indelible impression, clearly stamped by their ability to play any style of music from Country to Punk to Indie Pop, and pepper each arrangement with the perfect harmonies. Listeners become avid fans. Live shows have been known to leave a ravaged audience reaching for that satisfying, post orgasmic smoke.
The new Brain Box album: Serial Attractions is out now. Since posting songs on myspace last October the album has racked up over 1800 plays at myspace.com. It is available through CDbaby.com, iTunes and other digital distribution outlets. There is currently a radio and press promotion for the album.
Brain Box was please to be part of the Heart of Texas rock fest during SXSW this year, and has been playing regionally in the SE to promote Serial Attractions.
The Band has played bills with Hotel Lights, Tommy Stinson, Sondre Lerche, the Golden Republic, Built Like Alaska, Maganapop, The Honored Guests, De Novo Dahl, Sovus Radio, the Capsules, the Goodies, Jetty, and many more.
Noisy, lip-smacking, down to basics, sexy hot music that will actually improve your world. Guys are cooler and girls are hotter after applying a healthy dose of Brain Box. This amazing phenomenon – and we’ll swear it’s the truth – has caressingly maniacal sonic elements that push and pull you into a lusty, throaty splash of YES!
The boys have been greasing the wheels with the likes of Hotel Lights, Magnapop, Sondre Lerche, Tommy Stinson, Built like Alaska, the Capsules, the Golden Republic, the Goodies, DeNovo Dahl, Paula Kelly Orchestra, Jetty, The Warm Guns and more, at places like the EARL, the Star Bar, 10 High, Smith’s Olde Bar and so on, Brain Box is impressive every show.

EvilSponge.com – CorndogOrama review: “Brainbox has changed, I think since I last saw them. They have a slight prog undertone to their music, although that may just be a side effect of the unusual instrumentation. I didn’t hear all of their set, but the folks inside seemed quite appreciative of them. And the music I did hear worked well, and certainly demonstrate that the members of the band have undeniable talent.”
