
I write, play, sing, record, produce, master and all that jazz.

I also do stuff with a band called "my visor"...  We're recording our third album.  You can look us up at http://myvisor.bandcamp.com more free stuff there.

I do my own stuff as "Keith Brown".... I play live with some friends under the name "Keith Brown & Friends".....  Unimaginative. So far I've put out 2 EPs and an album, all released via Insufficient Records, and are available as digital downloads free at http://keithbrown.bandcamp.com

I play drums in wonky indie pop band Cineclub - www.soundcloud.com/cineclub

I occasionally play bass guitar in Jim Musgrave's live band - http://jimmusgrave.bandcamp.com

And occasionally drum with the mighty Tape Invaders

I run a DIY label with a pal, it's called Insufficient Records and it almost, sort of, exists - www.insufficientrecords.co.uk

So there’s these four reject space cadets from Northampton, England, Earth. They are The Retro Spankees and they make this hyperactive, DIY, Ctrl Alt Pop sound.
Their debut album “I Know You Are But What Am I?” - an enthusiastic romp through two minute pop songs released on Kooky Discs in 2006, followed by EP dedicated to the late great Richard Whitely entitled “Vowel Play” led to performances alongside gigging comrades Bearsuit, Misty’s Big Adventure, Das Wanderlust, Applicants, Polysics and more!

They’ve starred alongside Noddy Holder in the video for Misty’s Big Adventure’s ironic hit “Fashion Parade” and also briefly been the backing band for the legendary graphic novelist Alan Moore. Pretty Cool huh?
They went away to make some babies, wear some suits, paint their faces and change their bassist. Now they are back with a meagre vengeance and are out to prove that they have, well, nothing to prove.

They’ve made a new record, and they call it Meagre Vengeance. If their first album was a kid at school, this one has left school and entered the work place. It doesn’t like it’s job very much. It doesn’t like the people it serves, it doesn’t like the people it works with, and it really doesn’t like the people it works for!
It’s calling out to others that feel the same saying, “Hey you guys, we’re better than this. We’re capable of so much more than this and there’s nothing we can do about any of it. Let’s ride this Underling Express. Let’s back chat the Man. Let’s under achieve. Let’s weird out our colleagues. Let’s be Meagre, and have stupid noisy fun whilst we’re doing it!”
Oh yeah, and Grandmaster Gareth from Misty’s Big Adventure eats a carrot on it.

BBC 6 Music Round Table winners and former members of Norwich art-rock/indie-pop outfit Bearsuit.

Mega Emotion are the robe-wearing cult that build dense layers of sound looping both live and electronic drums against synths and scuzzy guitars. 

They have won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6 Music, seen their demo material play-listed as a 6 Music Recommends track of the week, and been championed on XFM and by BBC Introducing.

Live, they have played for John Kennedy’s Remedy showcase in London, and supported the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, Shonen Knife, Melt Banana, Thumpers, Lonelady and Yuck.

Their debut single Uncomfortable was released on cassette by Post/Pop Records – who have released cassette tracks by Everything Everything, Pulled Apart By Horses, Ash, Johnny Foreigner and We Are Scientists.

Their split debut vinyl album 'Move Motherf*cker' (with their grunge alter-egos Lady Di) is scheduled to come out this summer. 

"Death Star dance action" - Steve Lamacq

"Underground-mainstream indie-synth-pop... Human League goes lo-fi" - Electronic Sound

“Part Pixies noise-fest, part 80s synth sunset. I fucking love this song. It makes me want to rip out my shitty broken spine and flop around on a dance floor having fun.”
The 405 (single of the week)
 
“Mega Emotion aren’t your standard synth-pop proposition. They may weave webs of slick electro beats that nod out to Blondie, but they also have a thing for excessive layers of noise.”
The Fly (names to watch)
 
“A tasty jellybean of guitar embellished, smart electro pop”
The Music Fix (single of the week)
 
“Sounds like: A mad genetic experiment between Casiokids and Blondie.”
Click Music (track of the day)
