Brainstory Record Release Show for ‘Buck’

Brothers Kevin and Tony Martin and longtime friend Eric Hagstrom used music to fight back against the boredom of their hometown. After the trio moved to Los Angeles and formed Brainstory, they released two EPs on Chicano Batman’s El Relleno Records.

Their stony, smooth blend of jazz, soul and 1960s pop got them the attention of NY-based, retro-inspired Big Crown Records, who flew them out to record “Buck,” their debut full-length album. According to the band, “Buck is a state of mind, a way of life, a demeanor that gets you through the good times and the bad.” While the album came out last month, the band’s throwing the release show now, accompanied by Los Retros and Xin Xin.
