Chris Brokaw

Among the most active musicians of his generation and equipped, Chris Brokaw underground rock makes its official debut in New York at the helm of Codeine.

In the early 90s he moved to Boston, where, together with Thalia Zedek, continues his musical journey by putting on a band destined to quickly become a cult object. How I manage to mix in a completely original blues and punk. Debug an explosive sound, characterized by disruptive Chris and Thalia guitar solo, immersed in an increasingly effective and powerful harmonic texture and a slow and hypnotic rhythmic structure. A slow-core strong dark colors which gives the right dose of pathos the scratchy voice of Thalia. Four beautiful album and a series of individual, authentic milestones like that, then, in 1999, the end of the project.

Chris stays in Boston, continues in its many musical and, slowly collaborations, start your own solo career. So, while working alongside the likes of Steve Wynn caliber, Evan Dando and Clint Conley of Mission Of Burma and actively participates in the projects of the Willard Grant Conspiracy, of Pullman and New Year, find the time to prepare for his album d ' debut. Red Cities released in 2002 and is one of the best early works of recent years, a mixture of sounds that flows south along the border, feeding on dust, stones and sweat and carrying a sincere tribute to the desert low-fi Howe Gelb and to the country of Guy Kaiser acid. Recently signed to duet with Geoff Farina (Karate) two albums. His solo career continued undisturbed and rich collaborations.
