Come (US band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Come was an American indie rock band, formed in 1990 in Boston by Thalia Zedek (vocal, guitar), Chris Brokaw (guitar, vocal), Arthur Johnson (drums), and Sean O'Brien (bass). Come came into being after a mutual acquaintance invited Brokaw, O'Brien, and Johnson to play with him; after one show the three decided to split off into their own project, inviting Zedek to join them. Brokaw was playing drums with Codeine, and he and Zedek had been talking about playing together. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Come_(US_band)   (491 words)

Chris Brokaw: Incredible Love - PopMatters Music Review Brokaw sounds like he collected some songs that were pretty damn good, threw in a well-chosen, impeccably rendered cover (Suicide's "I Remember") and ended up with a record that can be pleasant to hear while making dinner or one you can study closely while relaxing after the meal is over. Brokaw's influences obviously stem far beyond the present-day seeming old timers such as Sonic Youth and Pavement. Chris Brokaw may be known as the guitar guy in some great bands, but now he should be heralded for what he has accomplished primarily by himself. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/b/brokawchris-incredible.shtml   (565 words)

Kimchee Records | Catalog | Chris Brokaw & Viva las Vegas | Reviews Chris Brokaw has played with a lot of the American underground elite and shows that he can play the tuneful card just as well as he can play the abstract one. Brokaw's conversational lyrics ("Steven turned to me and he said 'fuck!'") are a fine match for his own crispy guitar playing. Brokaw's slightly raspy vocals are a good fit for his instrumentation, and even his brief "lai dai dai" bridge flows smoothly back into the initial relative hush. www.kimcheerecords.com /catalog/kc013/reviews   (2476 words)

chris brokaw: media Brokaw is first and foremost a fluid and emotional guitar player on both the acoustic and electric, and the guitars on this album, simple acoustic finger-picking or layered electric squall, are always beautiful and often thrilling. chris' "wandering as water" solo record was named one of the top ten records of the year by gerard cosloy of matador and 12xu, and pitchfork media calls the cd "one of the most overlooked gems of the past year." Chris Brokaw is one of those people who has been floating around on the edges of American music for a good decade and a half, quietly making good music whilst all around him people scramble for the next big thing. www.chrisbrokaw.com /media.shtml   (8974 words)

Matador Records | Come in Qrt's Garage Netzine When Come's guitarists/singers Thalia Zedek and Chris Brokaw played in Copenhagen as a part of Steve Wynn's backing band at the end of march, Kasper did this short interview about their new album Near Life Experience and the departure of their rhythm group and stuff... Chris: Half the record has Tara Jane O'Neil and Kevin Coultas on bass and drums, both of whom used to be in a band called Rodan, from Louisville, Kentucky, and Tara and Kevin both play in a band called Senora Pine [sp?] now, so they are both busy with different things. Chris: A lot of the songs we wrote, I think, particularly on the last one, "Don't Ask Don't Tell," were songs that the four of us had put together, and so for one thing there is more a tendency to have longer instrumental parts on the last one. www.matadorrecords.com /come/qrt.html   (684 words)

Codeine (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia American indie rock band formed in 1989 by members Stephen Immerwahr (vocal, bass), Chris Brokaw (drums) and John Engle (guitar). Codeine pioneered the slowcore and sadcore subgenres of indie rock, but with a more experimental attitude than other bands in the genre, such as Low, Idaho and Red House Painters. Brokaw left the band after the release of Barely Real to play full-time with his other band Come. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Codeine_(band)   (261 words)

Last check: 2007-10-25) Thalia Zedek and Chris Brokaw; Todd Spahr and the Gravy The occasion was partly responsible for the impact, but between Chris Brokaw’s fearsome guitar leads and Thalia Zedek’s throat tearing, the song’s always sounded that way. As for Chris Brokaw, it’s impressive enough to perform with a half-dozen different bands, but the real feat here is the variety of music he’s been doing. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/music/cellars/documents/01751644.htm   (1645 words)

Chris Rice Run the Earth, Watch the Sky" Music Review - Living The Solution I don’t know how he manages to do it, but Chris has once again compiled 11 thought-provoking yet lighthearted songs that are a breath of fresh air in a market that’s often filled with tired, cliché songs. While I’ve always imagined that the angels stand around heaven with their hands politely folded, singing solemn hymns, in “Circle Up” Chris suggests that, amidst the thunder of unfolding wings, the angels and saints have grabbed hands and are twirling with delight around the throne in worship.

Kimchee Records | Bands | Chris Brokaw Chris Brokaw grew up in and around New York City and moved to Boston in 1986. Their dark, blues-inflected rock vision was intimately tied into Brokaw's always expressively raw guitar stylings. The band exited quietly from the scene in 2001, even as Zedek completed her own solo work with backup by, you guessed it, Chris and others from the Come family. www.kimcheerecords.com /bands/chrisbrokaw   (271 words)

new noise Brokaw first cropped up in New York slow-core luminaries Codeine –; a band so slow that glaciers can cross continents before a song reaches its chorus and narcoleptics could fall into slumbers between beats, yet still wake up in time for the next stroke of the drums. And as Brokaw was the man supplying that beat, you have to wonder if maybe the sloth isn’t the only creature that lives out its life at a fraction of the speed of the rest of us. OK, so it’s not like Brokaw gone and torn his larynx out screaming like a good ‘un or ripped the volume knobs off his guitar trying to turn it up further than it was designed to be played, but compared to what has come before, this still feels like something of a departure. www.new-noise.net /now_217.html   (546 words)

Chris Brokaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Theirs was a dark, sometimes blues-inflected rock vision, one in which Brokaw's majestically raw guitar made for many a wide eye.

+++ neumu [ datastream ] Brokaw explained that the opera, though loosely based on the Ulysses myth, really focused on war veterans and their families, a theme of "The Information Age" as well. Brokaw said that when he wrote the song "Cranberries," he felt that he personally couldn't do the kind of drumming that the song required. Brokaw's solo work grows out of a long and diverse career, starting in the 1970s when he first picked up guitar and drums as a pre-teenager. neumu.net /datastream/2006/2006-00001/2006-00001_datastream.shtml   (2174 words)

BBC - collective - chris brokaw 'incredible love' A member of Come, Pullman and Evan Dando’s touring band, svelte Bostonian guitarist Brokaw’s fleeting solo career has thus far been restricted to austere instrumental reveries. Dividing the songs between atmospheric rockers and mid-tempo, acoustic-led detours, Incredible Love finally unveils his sandpapery voice, marrying it convincingly with the crisp combo arrangements. It’s still his spidery lead lines that impress most, but when a winning vocal melody is demanded — as on the title track (a brisk cover of the Suicide classic) - he handles it with the swagger of a veteran frontman. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/ww2/A8436954   (212 words)

Rocket-Fuel - Online Music Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) The only previous recording of the song was a demo that Thalia did with a short-lived project called Via in the late 80’s. With “Across the Blue” Brokaw may have produced the most impressive recording of an Anderson song to date. Brokaw’s music holds the delicate perfection of that image, even as the lyrics turn to the very imperfect art of rebuilding a broken love. www.rocket-fuel.com /reviews/index.php?ID=636   (321 words)

Browse by Artist: BROKAW, CHRIS If you've seen Brokaw live, you know how much staid energy can come from one man. Armed with his guitar and a lone tapping tambourine, these recordings echo those performances in both their simplicity and in their power. Brokaw's vocals come just as easily as the slide on his guitar, and soon enough, the listener is drawn into the kitchen, where he's found a place to play and a few sympathetic ears. Like Van Zandt, Brokaw already has a wide swath of experience from which to draw pointed observations and gruff realities. www.forcedexposure.com /artists.../brokaw.chris.html   (376 words)

Thalia Zedek > Come > Instant Founding members and songwriters Chris Brokaw and Thalia Zedek backed by Daniel Coughlin on drums and Winston Bramen of Fuzzy fame on bass, continue to maintain the intensity of earlier records, while allowing for further development of their already impressive sonic spectrum. The band emerged from the late-80's NYC underground when Zedek and Brokaw met through a mutual friend whom the latter had gone to high school with. Zedek had been left bandless by the break-up of Live skull, while Brokaw was experimenting with noise acts like Seven or Eight Worm Hearts, which he describes as "this band with tuba players and violin players". members.cox.net /inferiority/thalia-zedek/instant.html   (956 words)

CD Review of Chris Brokaw - Red Cities on Atavistic @ jazzreview.com Chris Brokaw: acoustic & electric guitars, drums, percussion. Brokaw has been in the indie-rock bands Come and Codeine as well as the John Fahey-inspired instrumental collective Pullman — here, he steps out on his own. Brokaw is no virtuoso, but that’s the point, or part of the point: while a fine guitarist, Brokaw seems more interested in drawing listeners’ attention to the “whole” of the Song — the Mood, rather than The (showy) Technique. www.jazzreview.com /cdreview.cfm?ID=3087   (174 words)
