Brick's new LP is out!!! Find "Travel and Leisure" on Bandcamp.

Brick Briscoe has been around for several years. He is known as a filmmaker, a songwriter and performer. He has released two solo CDs, 2004's "Speed Kills, Jesus Saves (and other missed opportunities) and the just released "Expatriate Passion Play and Gift Shop." Briscoe is also a composer of electronic music and soundtracks. His most recent release in the genre is "Beautiful Warning Signs."

He also experimented by writing and performing with long time collaborator Tedd Klispch as the intense rock outfit Tall Young Men, whose debut release "Saint Record" is available on Last.fm as a free download. Most of these songs are being re-worked to be included in either Briscoe live shows or upcoming releases.

Brick has recently scored Steve Goodman's comedy "Girl U Want." His company, Rockstore Productions, in which he partners with Rock Art Collector John Rauch, is heavily involved in producing both music and music history films. Brick has directed two dramatic feature films and several documentary features over the last few years.

To say Briscoe is passionate about his creative process would be selling him and his collaborators short. Taking on the task of painting sound and song with the most electric, deep colors available isn't something that just anyone should try at home but after testing the tides of both Los Angeles and New York City, he found both solace and fire in the soft rolling plains of Indiana. Home.

This soft-spoken yet hard-driven man still claims to be a fan first and foremost. Days of post-punk vinyl and the emerging indie film wave, CBGB's, Wire, The Beautiful South, Gang of Four, The Jam, Stan Ridgway have left an indelible mark. Those passing by the studio will also hear Mahler, Monk and the Mekons. His tastes are as eclectic as his releases.

if you find yourself lost, on the mean streets of Anywhere, USA and are seeking a warm place to record and a cool glass of bourbon, Brick's waiting on the porch. Odds are though that you'll see him in a dive or coffeehouse near you. .
