The Brown Christmas is: Todd- Synth, bass, keyboards Mike- Synth, electronics, saxophone, drums, misc. Joemazing- Synth, guitar, giga delay, misc. The Brown Christmas is an experimental post-music group from New Jersey formed in 2005 as a result of three friends who didn't know how to play music, but hated what they were hearing on the radio. They knew they had to do something so they started grabbing any instruments they could find and pounding on them until sound came out. They started off with a bass, a saxophone, and some toy keyboards. Even though they didn't know what they were doing they began feverishly recording music. Their collection of instruments began to grow; some were donated by friends, others were found in the trash, and eventually they got jobs and could buy instruments. They still didn't know how to play any of them, but they figured it was better to not know how to play many instruments than it was to only know how to play one. Since 2005 they've released almost 20 albums, a few experimental music videos, and played a handful of underground shows. Almost all their music, both live and on their albums, is improvised. Their sound and style varies from ambient electronic drones, fast paced maniacal circus tunes, trudging power electronics/ noise, sarcastic punk breakdowns tainted with walls of distorted synthesizer sounds, screaming free jazz, silly minimalist tunes, and weird off tempo loops.
