about
Regrets & Brunettes are Richard Bivens (vocals/guitar/keys), Robert Pavlovich (bass), Dylan Kato (drums), and Anthony Chu (lead guitar). Bivens, Pavlovich, and Kato are all native to Southern California while Chu is an East Coast transplant by way of Philadelphia. The congenital California faction of the group has played together in different incarnations for the past five years, most notably as members of Richard Bivens & Foreign Press. RBFP released Absolute Beginners in 2006, informed by the darker back catalogues of The Stones, Neil Young and Randy Newman. With Bivens’ acerbic and confrontational lyrics, the album provoked the listener to decide whether his tongue was actually planted firmly in cheek. In concert, the band compounded confusion with the fact that Bivens played a right-handed guitar left-handed (no re-stringing, mind you). The group dismissed any notions of gimmickry with intense live shows that scored the outfit a residency at Detroit Bar, opening gigs for Delta Spirit and Henry Clay People and a 2007 Orange County Music Award nomination for Best Live Act. After a brief hiatus, Chu was added to the lineup in the Spring of 2008, bringing with him a strong sense of melody and songwriting acumen honed in his previous band The Switch (Kickstart/Creep Records). Rechristened Regrets & Brunettes, the quartet soon began recording in the comforts of their home studio and, alongside Chu’s stylistic and technical innovations, came a marked departure in sound.
