The Brain Cooks

The Brain Cooks is a tricky band to pin down. Tying together influences ranging from Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Modest Mouse and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they craft a sound that's all their own. The band, consisting of Ben Watts, Colleen Clement, Adrian Kirn and Cameron LaFlam, formed through friendships forged in core honors classes and several chance meetings. The band has gone through a number of names (The June Pilgrims, The Rain Coats) but finally settled on its new name after a shared dream the group had. The band has played everywhere from the Vera Project, The Comet Tavern, to Clement's own house, an affair that almost literally brought the house down as 120 people danced so hard that the floor began to bend. Once, The Brain Cooks rocked so hard, Watts' guitar amp caught fire. The Brain Cooks hope to get audiences dancing and whip out some unexpected melodies to catch Quadstockers off-guard.
