With a memorable name appropriate for its memorable music, Brain Sex has garnered quite the following this year.
The Champaign-Urbana music scene continues to prove it’s alive and well and shows no signs of slowing down. The varying house shows, solo artists and groups provide a space for lovers of many different music genres. The seemingly endless creative energy of the local community inspires some truly unique acts.
Brain Sex is the perfect example of this eccentric and creative spirit. Its grunge-inspired punk sound features grinding guitar riffs, taunting vocals and breakneck drums. With brash lyricism and palpable stage presence, this group leaves an impression, bringing a genuine and fun energy that the C-U music scene thrives on.
Since the release of its 2022 EP “Nobody Knows We’re Famous,” Brain Sex has become a C-U house show staple. The group is made up of lead singer and bassist Ratt King, guitarist Madison McNamee and drummer Max Rodriguez, as well as other contributing local musicians and creatives. You can keep up with Brain Sex on its Instagram as the band continues to draw crowds around town.
