theBlueSmokeBand was founded in the early 1990's. We spent our time writing and recording what we hoped would be blues. Turns out that it wasn't anything like what we were listening to. But we sure liked it — largely because of the relentlessness of the beats.

Later, at the turn of the century, after Brian had moved to California, he took control of the music and reformed the band with just himself at the controls of the Roland Mixer and barrage of sound reinforcement equipment. With nothing but a gut feeling that he could belt it out with the best of 'em, he cranked out more and more original pieces and developed the new, strange sound of theBlueSmokeBand.

But this is only one of the creative avenues that defines theBlueSmokeBand. In keeping with that spirit, in 2004 Brian again transformed in the band into a conduit for radical experimental arts of all kinds. This is where we stand. Share the joy. Play loud.
