BRNDA, a four-piece from DC, with a few rules: No covers, No love songs. Simple, right? Think again.
After perusing through the late 70s, 80s and 2010s for musical detritus, it was discovered that only the least ostentatious, most off-kilter sound is fit for BRNDA. And so, if you find yourself unable to put your finger on just what you’re hearing, it is because BRNDA is not just some rehashed comfort listening.
Since their genesis in 2012, BRNDA has released 3 albums (2014, 2015, 2021) and an EP (2018). One could say that the stream of consciousness featured in 2021’s Do You Like Salt? (on Crafted Sounds) is arguably BRNDA’s richest yet. Topics of interest include salt, tennis, existentialism, poached avocado, your 45-year plan, tea, incorrect orders… all of which are expressed through a carousel of honest vocal performance (singing, shouting, speaking, radio static) from all members of the band. Above all, BRNDA pulls off an unpredictable and incredibly entertaining sound that can shift between testy art punk, noisy no wave, and groovin’ indie rock at any given moment. Not to mention, there is also a tasteful dusting of saxophone on the record. What is there not to like about all of that in a 10-track, sub-thirty-minute package?
Also, WDCV loves live music but we also love food...just like BRNDA likes to write songs about foods. Perfect pairing? yes? YES!
There will be soup. It's FREE. And we will be silk screening WDCV shirts. Bring a shirt or grab one of our thrifted ones.
Finally, if the weather is right....there will a chance to hang out with baby bunnies. We are bringing all the good things to campus to end the semester int he best possible way!
Bring your friends!
See you there!
