...I did have a chance to see local band Brownstar perform

at Bottom of the Hill on Friday, June 27th. Singer Moon Trent(Pale) 

and guitarist Brett Klinker (Tel Basta) were joined by newcomers

Andy Lund and Scot Callis (Spackle) on bass and drums. They rocked the 

place, performing some of their more well-known songs such as,

"Somethings Happening," as well as new material, closing with a 

new tune called "I'm Tired." Known as leaders of the "quiet core

phenomenon," Brownstar has definitely cranked up the 

volume, moving their sound loudly into the punk/rock category.

Moon sang with great energy dancing and kicking his way through 

the entire set. The rest of the band had no trouble keeping up, 

with the audience rocking the whole time. This is definitely a band to 

catch at their next performance! For information about 

Brownstar, contact timmi-kat ReCoRDS at 415-441-0881.

And if you haven't been to Bottom of the Hill, ya gotta try it!
