About Me

brian bond writes, records, and performs music as a solo artist, as well as with the bands communipaw and we were born with rocks in our hands. in december 2006 he released his second album, affectionately named "brown circles." as a rather younger man he released his first album "the orange telephone". he also experimented with electronic music in 2004 on an unreleased album called "typewriting" but is more or less done with that kind of thing. most recently, he released the lo-fi "ten thousand songs" ep for free online in april 2008. a full-length album called "fire & gold" is now in the finishing stages, with a tentative release date of summer 2008.
if you would like a copy of any of these solo recordings or of the communipaw or we were born with rocks in our hands releases, or if you live in or around new jersey and would like to record music with brian at apple and orange studios, send a message through myspace or an email to [email protected] ...thanks for listening.
