About

Carpbrain is made up of some of the most critically acclaimed musicians of the modern age. Certain members of the band are known to have written the entire Hawkwind catalog from 1979-1986.

Carpbrain has, in its fabled career, had the opportunity to open for the Who, Bread, and the Austrian heavy metal gods Doghammer.

Never a band to shy away from controversy, Carpbrain has toured as a genetically-modified Hegelian power trio, a "total silence" experience (which caused riots in Sydney and Oslo) and are best remembered by some as the groundbreaking octet who charged $320 a ticket to hear the London Philharmonic play a single note while the band sipped absinthe and lounged in silk evening gowns.

Most recently, they fired their longtime drummer, Buck Wheato, and replaced him with a 3.5-horsepower Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. So far, record sales have not suffered at all, and rumours are spreading that Max Weinberg is not long for the E Street Band as Bruce Springsteen has been seen lately in the company of a McCulloch 18-inch chainsaw and an industrial-strength egg timer.
