Since its founding in 2004, the Amsterdam formation Brown vs. Brown has made a name for itself on European stages with its totally unique sound characterised by a high dose of energy, virtuosity and sheer joy of playing. This extremely tight collective is unique in that it can totally astound audiences at both alternative rock temples and jazz clubs. Heavy grooves, unorthodox rhythms, wide dynamic range, and complex, meticulous arrangements that still leave room for a striking amount of improvisation, are a few of the musical ingredients that make up Brown vs Brown. After extensive concert tours at home and abroad they recorded their debut album ‘Twitch and Shout’ (PAO Records) in Vienna in 2007. ‘What’s more a curious blend of hypnotic repetition and constant changes of pace give you the impression of being in the middle of one enormous, dizzying whirlpool..’ (VPRO 3voor12).
