It’s funk kicked in the face twice! It’s metal but not nu. It’s punk but not pop. This unique Detroit trio mixes up punk, funk and metal that’s a cross between the Dead Kennedys meet the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tenacious D in the heavy metal parking lot. Add a hyperactive live show that has the band packing clubs wherever they play.

Downtown Brown is: Neil P. - Guitar/Vocals; Wolf - Bass; Pip - Drums
