Brain Box

In these tough times, everyone is struggling. Brain Box is one band, though it would be inappropriate to say they are making ends meet. Each member of the three-piece band have their own lives, own challenges, and yet despite all this, one common theme unites all three of them: friendship.

The band plays due to camaraderie, a strong passion, and enthusiasm for playing music. When they play to a live audience, their music sounds like 90's-Grungy-High Tempo rock anthems. But Brain Box are creative enough to blend different genres, making them one of those rare bands that can't be slapped with one label. Some songs are fast paced while others are slow, fun loving work of art. Like their music, their inspiration for writing lyrics come from blaming someone to randomly flipping through the Yellow Pages, find words and piecing it together into something coherent.

Brain Box started in 2002. Matt Chenoweth, the lead vocalist, had already played in dozen bands. At that time, he was involved with Crabdaddy, a local band originally from Boston but settled down in Athens, Georgia. Crabdaddy got the chance to play a gig with another band called American Dream. There, Matt met the band's drummer Eric. Both of them met up with guitarist Bruce from The Futurabold. Since then, they have been jamming together.

Bottomline: This band does not play only to get a paycheck every night after a hard night gig. They perform because they enjoy each other's company and through that, they are able to go out and delight their fans with their unique brand of music. Despite the financial constraints they face in their day to day lives, fans should check this band out because they genuinely enjoy playing and making sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face.
