Brass Bed head out on tour!


To kick off their tour, please do download Brass Bed's "Miniature Day Parade", turn it up loud, clear the aisles and host your own mini-parade where ever you may be.

"I... was kept put with their clear influences from The Kinks and Television. Take those and them put into an indie-pop-and-country-twang-lick blender and you've got Brass Bed." RCRD LBL

"Brass Bed, a quartet that sounded like Spoon's younger Four Loko addicted cousins." The Oregonian

"Last night, in the walk-in closet that is Mi Casa Cantina on East Sixth, the band delivered from beginning to end. There were the all out, everything in your face moments, where organ, guitars and drums unleashed in unison. There were more subtle touches, too. Mader held his own on lead vocals. The bouncy, piano driven moments would have made Wilco fans smile. Those moments never last too long though, before the band’s grittier side fought back." Austin Statesman

"The songs on "Melt White" are figures that let us believe in something that's characteristic of what we'd imagine that fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon was searching for down in Florida sometime almost five centuries ago might have held. We seem to hear the bright yellow sunlight ripping through the blinds to awaken these people and yet, there's that dark-tinge to any of those happy moments - just as there would have been had de Leon found what he was looking for." -Daytrotter

"Brass Bed showcase a muscular song-craft that delivers a square gut-punch to indie-rock pedestrianism. MELT WHITE, whose title sounds more like an image-poem than a rock & roll album, fuses shimmering balladry, jangly psychedelia, and orchestral pop into a curious set that suffers no fillers." - Oxford American

"Brass Bed carried on with a set of loud, loose and catchy rock 'n' roll songs full of squalling guitar breaks, driving bass and Mader's lilting vocals, which floated easily through the thicket of sound." Spinner

"Playing organic indie-pop that's grabby, earthy and intelligent, Brass Bed spices its psychedelic sounds with country nods like pedal steel, resulting in a compellingly distinctive assembly of instrumentation that dutifully serves each song." - Creative Loafing
