ADAM BROOKES SAICS Sloome 8 pm $10 The debut solo project from Dangermaker's prolific frontman, ADAM BROOKES, may come as a surprise to fans of his previous work. Born in Los Angeles, California, Brookes began seriously writing and recording music in San Francisco around 1999 with a collection of cheap instruments and a four-track Tascam cassette recorder in the closet of his creaky old apartment. After several short-lived projects he formed indie pop band Dangermaker, and music quickly went from pastime to obsession as he dealt with the sudden death of his father during the first week of tracking their debut album. The experience plunged him further into his art with a sense of urgency, eventually emerging with a euphoric sound that defines Dangermaker's releases on Breakup Records. His new solo work brings a more summery, minimal, electronic feel than we’ve heard from the songwriter before. Initial experiments with electronic production recently led to commissioned compositions for The North Face and Brookes realized that certain life-long musical influences had previously been neglected. Rather than force-fitting those ideas into an existing box, this new project is left free to land where it may, fusing electronic and hip-hop influences just as much as rock, pop, R&B or anything else. The result is transformative, featuring live electronic production, a rotating cast of supporting live musicians, and occasional collaborations with SF Bay Area MCs. Brookes has appeared at Bottlerock Napa, Live 105’s BFD, and Noise Pop Music Festivals among others like SXSW & CMJ nationally, and his music heard on radio, television & film, ahead of his 2020 solo LP release. https://www.facebook.com/adambrookes.us/ SAICS is a San Francisco electronic rock band with a growing following in the Bay Area having performed at some of the city's most iconic venues and dropped some of the most innovative sounds of the past few years.
