Beautiful Things Await You

About Me


"Beautiful Things Await You” is the debut album from Brutus Gets The Girl has a range of songs that will make you rock, dance, cry and love. The sound is a mix of catchy melodies, throbbing electronic bass pulses and distorted guitar echoes that will stay engraved in your mind.


Formed in Monrovia, CA in the fall of 2002 by Silvano Barba on guitars and vocals and his sister Marisol Barba on piano and vocals. Shortly thereafter they asked Mike Delgado to play drums and long-time friend Joe Spelman to collaborate on guitar and synthesizer.


With influences from New Wave, British 80’s Electronica, Shoegaze and Spanish Rock makes Brutus Gets The Girl one of the most eclectic bands in the Los Angeles music scene. They have built a loyal and growing following after playing for the past few years all around the Los Angeles area.
Brutus Gets The Girl will be embarking on a promotional tour for “Beautiful Things Await You” in late 2008 through 2009. Expect to see and hear much more from BGTG in the months to come!
