Keep it in the family

I've seen The Brothers once before, back when they were a quartet with guest-rapping and calling themselves, with good reason, The Watters Brothers. Sometime in the intervening years they changed their name to The Watters Brothers Rebellion, then slimmed down to just The Brothers.

Those brothers! Danny on keyboards, Muddy on sparkly silver Danelectro.



More Muddy, on acoustic guitar this time!



More Danny, on drums this time!



Their dad came on to play some bass guitar.



There was also some guest harmonica.



More Brothers and elders!









I think I liked their early incarnation a little better, but I salute their dedication to flamboyant showmanship and ruffled shirts.

• Show reminder: Arnak, The Epilogue and Gusto Fiasco rock the Bytown Tavern. FemBots and Octoberman play Zaphod Beeblebrox; Wintersleep play Barrymore's; The Wedding Present and Dirty on Purpose were allegedly to perform at Babylon, but there doesn't seem to be much sign of it; Ball & Chain bring the country to the Elmdale House Tavern along with Keith Glass; Lee Mellor plays Irene's.
