Brzowski

At age 28, BRZOWSKI is laying his heart and mind open w/ all the desperation and explosive energy of a nervous breakdown coupled with a mid-life crisis. The Portland, ME by-way-of Providence,RI emcee kicked around the Massachusetts and Rhode Island music scenes in varying projects since 1993, before taking a permanent vacation to the northeast tundra, where long winters and unsuspecting audiences could better nurture his creative spirits / personal demons. Joining forces with producer/technophile-at-large AGENT8 and a revolving cast of disc-jockeys in the studio and on stage, he has been steadily amassing a sizable groundswell of indie hip-hop true believers who clamor for something more artfully substantial than the mainstream stranglehold can spoon-feed them.After self-releasing the efforts "New England Gothic" and "Perpetual Winter", whose hand-to hand sales reached several thousand, the workaholic MC set his sight on releasing a proper full-length album on the seminal indie label Milled Pavement."MaryShelleyOverdrive" is a dense and demanding solidification of the dark thematic elements set forth on 2002’s "New England Gothic";"…like Robert Frost contemplating suicide in a cabin in the woods…"The Portland Phoenix, June 2003. The album contains many truly atypical aspects: lengthy songs, techno/industrial influenced beats, literary and visual culture references, a touch of the defiance of early 90’s punk rock, and a dark cloud behind every silver lining. Adding variance to an already potent mixture, DJ MAYONNAISE (Anticon), K-the-I???(Mush Records), ASTRONAUTALIS (Fighting Records), and NOMAR SLEVIK (Siq Records) all make musical or vocal contributions.Winning poetry slams, consistently ranking in the finals in mc battles, tour stints with Sage Francis, Epic and Galapagos4, as well as playing to packed clubs opening for the likes of Hangar 18, Killah Priest, Atmosphere, Sole, jdwalker, Murs, Dalek, Brother Ali, Doug E. Fresh, Josh Martinez, Grand Buffet, DJ Vadim, Astronautalis, Sleep, Moshe, K-the-I???, members of the Shapeshifters, and myriad others have cemented BRZOWSKI a reputation for quality live performance.BRZOWSKI is set to 2 discs in the coming year (late 07/mid 08), racking up compilation and guest spots on labels spanning the western hemisphere, all while scrambling to continue a hectic performing schedule. For the New England Gothic herald of poetic doom, the future appears curiously luminous.
