The Brigands are spinning out of control with their new release Night Patrol. They punch out a mix of original garage pop rock along with select covers from their bean-town heritage. History The Brigand brothers started playing the rock and roll around Boston in the early 1980’s. Rusty and Brian teamed up with brothers Bart and Chris to form the Bouncers. Yes, the Brigands were known as the Bouncers back in the early days, reflecting their employment of choice. Their first gigs were at the dingiest clubs in Boston, but clubs where the finest rock and roll shows were to be had. Jasper's, Jumbos, The Rat, The Paradise, Storyville, Chet's Last Call, The Channel...the list goes on and on. Over the years the brothers have suffered three chipped teeth, five broken noses, a cracked jaw and four broken knuckles, mostly at each others hands. The Brigands decided to take on the family name in the latest incarnation so out of the ashes of the Bouncers, the Brigands were formed in the late 1990s, delivering a pulverizing mix of 70's and 80's Boston Mass Ave scene covers, as well as Brigands originals. Not much has changed since the early days, however the brothers clearly enjoy playing together again. The Brigands' friends and fans are wary of their inclination toward nasty disagreements, and propensity to spend their entire night’s receipts on bar tabs, emergency room fees and sterile gauze.
