Brewed Junks Is… Electro-Acoustic Avant-Blues Rock
… the premiere of a new transatlantic project merging two bands, "Brewed by Noon" (NYC) and members of "The RhythmJunks" (Belgium) thus "Brewed Junks" was created from brewing avant blue funk rock in junk together.
Brewed Junks Came From…
“CHIPS” Microchips, gambling chips, potato chips, a dubious ‘80s motorcycle-cop show, small flaws on a pristine surface, fragments of a disintegrating object… “JUNKS” as in rhythm addicts, sound freaks or compulsive-obsessive instrumental mannerism.
Brewed Junks Live…
…in the neophilic neighborhood also occupied by John Zorn, Ruins, Marc Ribot, Malcolm Mooney of CAN, and around the corner from old blues-men, obscure jazz freaks, soundtrackalia collectors, even Eugene Chadbourne.
Brewed Junks Are…
Brooklyn based drummer Sean Noonan, the engine room behind crazy free-grunge-jazz power trio The Hub and world fusion force Brewed by Noon. Sean mixes up some musical chips of his own with grease and spices from his Belgian soul mate, harmonica player Steven De bruyn (The Rhythm Junks, El Fish) and Jasper Hautekiet bass
Sean and Steven share the same musical DNA for approaching many bits of music in an innovative and adventurous way. For this project they both bring in a sparring partner. Steven brings Jasper Hautekiet, one of Belgium’s best kept secrets on unconventional guitar and nowadays bass.
Together, they form a sunny grove (except when it storms), where jazz, rock, and all kinds of experimentation converge freely and openly-withoutshame, fear, or threat of a bad hangover. Sometimes subtle, sometimes disintegrating, sometimes a risky improvisational gamble, they are never pristine, never more satisfying than potato chips, and unlike the soundtrack to any cop show I’ve ever seen,
"Brewed Junks kicks your ass, turns your head and makes you laugh.”
