Overview

Days before flying to New York City to ink a major-label deal that might have propelled his band Brainiac to stardom, front man Tim Taylor was killed in a car crash. But that's only the beginning of the story. Rooted in the musical community and history of their native Rust Belt home, Dayton, Ohio, Brainiac left its punk and New Wave brand of indie rock on musicians ranging from Beck to the Mars Volta. Now, more than twenty-five years after the release of its swan song EP, Brainiac-called ""the great lost band of the 90s"" by Variety-has reunited, finding newfound fame, a celebrity-laced documentary, live shows, and a sense of closure.

Reviews

"""Brainiac was the direct descendant of Devo to me, they were that rare combination of avant-garde and backyard punk that is today's gold standard of indie music, but in their day was at the bleeding edge of an art form still worthy of magazines, discussion and hope."" -David Sardy, producer/mix engineer/composer ""Brainiac was one of the greatest bands of the nineties, with an original epic bombastic sound and story worthy of a Greek tragedy."" -Nigel Harrison, Blondie bassist"
