BRAND\u00a0X\u00a0has reunited and is preparing to celebrate their reunion with a Fall 2016\/Spring 2017 U.S. tour, including a headline performance at Progtoberfest in Chicago on October 21st. Also on this initial run will be shows in Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and Boston\u00a0to name a few. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
BRAND\u00a0X are recognized as true musical pioneers, as they helped create an entire musical genre and influenced a broad spectrum of musicians and bands, from Phish to Dream Theatre. They are unrivaled in their creativity, originality and approach. Their contemporaries include bands such as Weather Report, Headhunters, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaco Pastorious and Chick Corea, all crafting a unique blend of Jazz, Rock, and Ethic influences now widely known by fans worldwide as Fusion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many claim it\u2019s BRAND X’s unique combination of masterful chops mixed with their childlike melodies that make so special. Some musicians play from inside their own world, but John Goodsall, Percy Jones, Kenwood Dennard and the guys from BRAND X play from their own universe!<\/p>\n

REUNION:\u00a0After years of rumors of a potential reunion, it is finally happening. Three of the four main members came together recently in New York, and according to sources present at the rehearsals, listening to them play was \u201c…like traveling back in time to the legendary ‘Livestock’ album \u2013 there was no question this was BRAND X! Their sound was uncannily identical to the BRAND X of ‘Livestock’ \u2013 and that in itself speaks volumes\u201d <\/p>\n

\n
\u201cUnorthodox Behaviour\u201d was a superb debut album. Members Percy Jones, Phil Collins, Morris Pert, John Goodsall and Robin Lumley had been doing sessions for Brian Eno, and banded together for this initial release.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoroccan Roll\u201d: Surprises everyone by hitting #37 in the UK charts. Experimenting with some Eastern tonalities, including a shimmering Sitar played by Goodsall on \u201cSun In The Night\u201d, BRAND X create an uncanny masterpiece \u2013 a fusion album with melodies. Percussionist Morris Pert now joins the band, and manages to bang on everything including a few kitchen sinks. Robin Lumley’s \u201cDisco Suicide\u201d is as catchy as it is clever. Percy Jones galloping \u201cMalaga Virgen\u201d races with furious Bass and Drums \u2013 and remains a show-stopper live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLivestock\u201d: A true live album\u00a0in every sense of the word. Recorded at gigs at Hammersmith Odeon and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club,\u00a0it shows that band at their most mature with finesse and macho chops rarely heard live.\u00a0Robin Lumley has stated that the entire Livestock album was mixed in one day with absolutely no overdubs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
