After seeing Chris Brokaw recently in Lupo Citta, I was curious to see what his solo rock band was up to.  Clint Conley of Mission of Burma is now on bass, so that adds up to a particularly formidable 1-2 punch with Chris being the frontman.  As Conley's Consonant proved 15 or so years ago, he is a great frontman himself outside of MOB.  I could see this lineup getting bigger pretty fast.

It was a perfect day for an outside rock show in Brooklyn.  I think the venue was having volume issues causing forced lower volume throughout the 3 sets.  Matt Hunter of New Radiant Storm King fame was on bass for SAVAK.  Blank Account had a 2-bass trio approach.
