Brazzaville was formed by David Brown in 1998 in Los Angeles, California. While on tour playing saxophone with Beck, David bought an old guitar in Barcelona and began writing the songs for what would be the first Brazzaville album, 2002. Since then Brazzaville has recorded an additional 3 albums, Somnambulista, Rouge on Pockmarked Cheeks and Hastings Street. The original version of the band included many musicians, although the core group consisted of Kenny Lyon, Joe Zimmerman, Joel Virgel-Vierset, Mike Bolger and David Ralicke.
The band has toured the east and west coasts of the US as well as playing shows in Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan.
In 2003 David sold everything and moved to Barcelona. There he formed a new version of Brazzaville consisting of himself, two American expatriates (Ivan Knight and Brady Lynch) and two local boys (Paco Jordi and Richie Alvarez). In 2004, Mimicry Records released a greatest hits record called Welcome to Brazzaville. The band’s fifth album, East L.A. Breeze, was released in June 2006, and tracks are currently streaming on their myspace page.

Frontfocus +1, тоже не пойму, почему лишь в России они достаточно популярны и востребованы. "21st Century Girl" просто шикарный альбом, 9,5\10. К сожалению, сейчас в почёте 30 Seconds To Mars, майкемикалроманс и т.п. раскрученные команды, которые помимо всего прочего неслабо упираются на визуальную сторону. Браззавилль, видимо, слишком тихие и незаметные на их фоне, увы. Впрочем, свой слушатель у Brazzaville всегда будет, при такой-то музыке.

I want to ask all British\American listeners: What's wrong with the band? Why are they so popular in Russia and Eastern Eurupe and so obscure in USA and UK? ))
