Brown vs Brown was formed in 2004 by Dirk Bruinsma, Viljam Nybacka,
Gerri Jaeger and Jeroen Kimman, who were then pretty much complete
strangers to each other. In Amsterdam that is. Regardless of sizeable
differences in musical background, the band's electrifying chemistry
quickly made itself apparent. A love/hate relationship with jazz, a
quirky alt-rock mindset, and the genuine need to create a new music
that is coherent and personal, became their common ground in the
hard-working years that followed. From this the self-proclaimed
'alleged Brown-sound' was born. It's denial of simple description has
spawned poetic-licensed terms such as math-rock, stumble-funk,
punk-jazz and what-not... a highly energetic & inventive music,
which is tight but dirty, complex but loose, where amputated rhythms
collide with spring-loaded melodies and surprise awaits around every
corner. It's one of those tornado-shaped fresh breezes that pop up once
in a while... Very much a collective, -all members bring in
compositions- the band spends a lot of quality-time refining the
arrangements and deepening their sound.

vs Brown takes pride in its reputation as a powerhouse live-band, and
feels as confident playing the consecrated ground of jazz-temples as
well as the beer-soaked floors of ill-lit alt-rock clubs, leaving
audiences flabbergasted. Numerous shows have been played in Holland,
Austria, Italy, Germany and Slovenia over the last few years. In 2007,
the latest CD 'Twitch and Shout' was released on Austrian label
PAO-records.
