Russell Brown - Vocals, Guitars

Name:
Russell Brown

Birthplace:
near Glacier Park, MT - Whitefish, to be exact

Occupation:
Network Engineer (when your ATM is down, I'm working on it)

previous bands you've played in/are playing in...
used to play guitar in After the Dawn - Bass in Pushin Daisies/Peculiar Red and G. Ningroy - a couple other Jerry Oliver side projects :) - also the occasional solo gig

Favorite musical influences:
(updated for 2005) - Townes Van Zandt still - still some alt country but lately hasn't been much good music out there.

I did however fall in love with Kate Rusby solely from her album "10" and should she ever divorce that chump from the Battlefield Band, I'd marry her in a heartbeat as long as she sang me lullabies each night.

Greatest song ever:
Resplendent by Bill Mallonee and the Vigilantes of Love - off the Audible Sigh LP

a list of movies/books you've devoured lately:
(updated for 2005) - lots of poker books - Harrington on Holdem, Poker Face by Katy Lederer, I guess I'm done with political books for a couple yrs.  - Cisco certification books, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Greatest movie ever:
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - I'm a sucker for Asian period pieces with lots of swords and kung fu, including Kurosawa films

Favorite song the BST plays:
Usually whatever the newest one we're working on is - but lately, it's been Whiskey Chaser

Additional facts:
I secretly long to be an otherworldly channel for either Homer Simpson or Strongbad
