		In the middle of Brainiac's set someone (maybe the same heckler) shouted "Devo!" Well, that is a very obvious reference point for the band, as are another weirdo electronic Ohio band, Pere Ubu.
		Basically Brainiac are a punk band that employs weird synth effects to bring the noise instead of guitars.
		No band currently gigging on this planet has cooler packaging than Man or Astro-Man?; their records are almost worth purchasing on vinyl for the album covers alone, even if you never put the record on.

		Brainiac celebrate weirdness and the band's live show is strange not only for the fact that they play clever songs like “Sexual Frustration” and “Vincent Come on Down,” but that it sure doesn't look like they could possibly be making the out-of-tune ruckus sound so good.
		The translation was a bit thin because the CD is full-on electronica, but Brainiac is filled with gimmickry and the band pulled it off thrift-store style.
		So the only gripe of the night was that for a band with so much eccentric energy, there was simply no reason to run out of steam and cut the freakout short.

		They create a cartoony brilliance, in a way that Brainiac perfected in rock (it is not ironic that I first encountered the band via a Disney music video, coupling their song "Rolling" to an old fl and white melee).

		May 97: Brainiac came over to the UK for what was tragically to be their last tour.
		One band I think are operating in a similar realm at least in the sense of merging rock and electronica is Trans Am.
		Tim was the band’s prime mover, but latterly guitarist John Schmersal had been instigating a lot of the writing, especially the electronics, and I hear he’s released a single on All City but haven’t yet tracked down a copy.

		Schmersal was the guitarist in Brainiac, a bunch of hyperactive twentysomethings from Dayton, Ohio, whose tincture of angular guitar clang and analog synthesizer abuse was the talk of the American underground rock scene nearly a decade ago.
		Schmersal enlisted drummer Matt Schulz (old-skool tie: Brainiac drummer Tyler Trent is his cousin) and bassist Toko Yasuda (formerly of self-righteous NYC art coquettes Blonde Redhead) as the rhythm section.
		Singles are slated to appear on the Troubleman and Frenchkiss labels, as well as a split-single with the Blood Thirsty Lovers, the new band from former Grifters major-domo Dave Shouse.

		This six-song EP shows the band experimenting with an all-synthesizer approach to loud and angry rock that, despite a few weak points, Brainiac manages to pull off.
		Moments like these make one wonder whether a rock band like Brainiac really has any sense of history in regard to electronic music or if the brainiacs think it all started with Reznor's appropriation of `80s industrial music.
		Though Brainiac definitely gives us something to look forward to, it might be wise to wait for the full-length album.

		The band's surviving members of the band have remained relatively quiet since Brainiac except for Schmersal, who has put together the group Enon.

		For Enon’s John Schmersal, who was also in the band Brainiac, he has not seen any royalties or accounting statements for Brainiac records released on the now-extinct label Grass.
		Another option for bands that are tight on cash is to rally with other bands on the same label and file a class-action suit, though there has not been much case law with that.
		Langford and Schmersal have also experienced the “shelving” and “upstreaming” of material, where music that was penned by a band has never been released or is no longer in print and the determination of who retains the rights to release it is in question.

		Yasuda lends her vocals to a number of songs, and with a voice reminiscent of Cardigans singer Nina Persson, her songs serve as funky, mid-tempo departures to Schmersal's often jerky, askew guitar doodles.

		Megan seems to have a decent set of pipes when her voice is set to singing (and not getting down on the venue staff or members of the other bands) and the addition of stand up bass was also a real treat.
		The band seems to borrow from mid-nineties indie rock staples, especially Archers of Loaf and Superchunk, which is never a bad thing.
		Maybe this band is just one of those unique groups that play better on another team’s field, or maybe their home field (since Covington is just over the bridge from Cincy) was also packed with friends wanting to buy them pre-show drinks.
