Madame Brown

Cape Breton’s Madame Brown (not to be confused with the Montreal production company of the same name) will be toting its grab bag–music around the East Coast this summer. Classifying the unclassifiable, Madame Brown considers itself rock, psychedelic, and electronic all at once. Perhaps this is due to the band’s varied influences, citing both The Clash and Daft Punk as two, or maybe it is simply because the band was formed with the only goal of making people dance.

With no album in sight, Madame Brown thrives on live performances, where improvisation always ensues. The single “The Housesitter,” off its 2006 demo, features post-punk electro-accents above a repetitively snaky guitar riff and death-disco beats, calling to mind a younger Controller.Controller minus the vocals. “Anndowne,” on the other hand, features wailing guitars overtop a trance-like beat, perhaps a clash between 70’s psychedelic rock and Jeff Buckley. 

With a fan base primarily in the Maritimes, the guys of Madame Brown are sticking to what they know and exclusively touring the East Coast, with late summer shows scheduled in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec.

If you’re up for a casual bar night that could end up putting you on the dance floor, then check out Madame Brown at a watering hole near you. For a complete list of tour dates, visit Madame Brown’s MySpace at www.myspace.com/madamebrownmusiconline.
