Band Members: Bio:
Named after a character in the sleazy romance novel "The Flame and the Flower",
this lifelong latch-key kid was born and raised as an only child on the east side of the
metropolitan city of Milwaukee, has lived on the sunset strip in Los Angeles and now resides
somewhat uncomfortably in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to being a musician, Brandon Adamson is also an abstract artist,
an accomplished poet, a socially awkward butterfly, rightwing madman, a pretty good tennis player,
and an all around icon of his generation.
Aside from all that, Brandon is an understated sarcastic, somewhat pretentious yet self depreciating,
oxymoronic, multimediocre-talented, two-bit hustling, wine drinking, anorexic, train wreck girl loving, teenage girl dating, guest list crashing,
mall lounging, classic movie watching, soul record playing, two person bike riding, conventional wisdom defying,
little white lying, shoplifting, shapeshifting, shit talking, rumormongering,
hypochondria prone, sometimes pervy, singer songwriting, fence hopping, round the clock pacing,
archetype romantic hero playing, premature ejaculating, your guts hating,
diet coke drinking, goldfish cracker eating maniac. In other words, he's the shit.
