Brainium Sounds Off

Running Sound

Big, successful bands have crews of sound people setting everything up and making sure it all sounds good during the performance. Most bands don't have that luxury. Brainium didn't. (Not yet, anyway.) So how do other bands (like Brainium) run their sound?

Auditions

Getting into a band usually (but not always) requires an audition. Brainium talks about their audition experiences...both having them and giving them.

When Things Went Wrong

Believe it or not, things don't always go as planned during a gig. Shocking, right? In this episode, the boys of Brainium tell stories of some of their "uh oh" incidents. Unsurprisingly, this episode ran a little long even though we only hit the highlights (or lowlights) at Brainium and non-Brainium gigs.

Favorite Non-Brainium Gigs

In a previuos episode, we talked about some of our favorite Brainium gigs. Now it's time to talk about favorite gigs playing in other bands. While nothing can truly compare to playing a Brainium gig, there were still some good times for each of us playing in other bands. Just ask Thom!

Song Origins: I'm A Monk

Another Song Origins episode features the song "I'm A Monk." We discuss how the song originated and evolved into the new (for now) Brainium version. (The "new" version is from the late 1980s.) Hear the difference "Brainiumizing" the song made!
Note: This episode is a little longer than usual. We'll strive to be more concise in the future. We do tend to ramble...

A Brainium Gig from Start to Finish

Hear about all the steps, from start to finish, that went into Brainium playing out live. There's a lot more to it than just the performance, especially when you're just two guys with no crew.

Favorite Brainium Gigs

Brainium didn't play many live gigs, but all of them were fun, and some were particularly memorable. Sure they were decades ago but the boys of Brainium remember them well! (Sort of.)

Gig Equipment: What did we bring?

Ever wonder what that local band you saw at the bar had to bring to their gig? Brainium tells you what they brought to their gigs! Hint: It's probably more than you think.
