Paul Pittman; some of the band's frisson is derived from a since-ended relationship with Ms. Brain.
Bassist Brent McDonald holds the bottom ... end.
Guitarist Andre Lagace in the red light district.
Lucy Brain, the lady in red.
Brain's brother Alex.
And now a bunch of group action shots.
Two Brains are better than one.
Andre shows off his moves at set's end.
The crowd goes wild! Hello? Crowd? Where are you, damn it?!?
They also played Grateful Dead's Box of Rain ("Are there any Grateful Dead fans in the house? ... no, I didn't think so.") and Neil Young's Cowgirl in the Sand. Well, there were a couple dozen people there for a good show.
- Show reminder: The HorrorPops, Million Dollar Marxists and Left Alone play Babylon. The Silver Hearts and Andre Ethier play Barrymore's. The Polytones, Department of Foreign Affairs and Postage Stamps play Mavericks.

re: Audience MIA. I find this is more common at Zaphod's than any other venue in the city. Young and Sexy should have probably gotten a better turn out but I really think there's been a kink in Zaphods' promotion engine for years and it's really too bad.
As someone who's on the receiving end of Zaphod's promo, I don't think they do such a bad job ... (and Y&S did get an article in XPress). My own theory is that they suffered more from Grizzly Bear and Final Fantasy playing at the Black Sheep (though for all I know a handful made it out to that show, too - anyone want to let me know what the turnout there and at Irene's was?) and just generally not getting their due.
