Midnight Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Midnight Brown is a band, formed in December of 2003 by Jeff Gerstmann and Chris Henderson. The duo's music can be somewhat eccentric and difficult to describe, but the common theme is that it all has a decidedly electronic sound to it, often mixed with rap, a la Gerstmann's previous groups Headboard and The Suburban All-Stars. Jeff and Chris refer to this unique genre of music as "Post-Indiepop Eclectro", "Fifth-Wave" or "Emobilly".

In 2005, Midnight Brown recorded theme songs for GameSpot's popular video programs, Button Mashing and Time Trotters. GameSpot's podcast theme was also done by Midnight Brown, the song "Too Hot" in an instrumental form from their second album. Instrumental versions of Midnight Brown's material can also be found on GameSpot's 2005 E3 DVD and documentary, Electric Showdown.

Midnight Brown's third album, Dope/Revenge, was released for free on the band's official site on February 18, 2006.

Their fourth release is expected early 2007 and is tentatively titled Deadly Electric.
