Brainkiller (originally a wordplay on the names of its two original members) is a funambolic jazz-prog trio with american Brian Allen on trombone, Jacob Koller on fender rhodes and piano and argentinean drummer Hernan Hecht to provide polyrhythmic intent.
Originally a duo, they morphed into a trio in 2007 to record their first album, eventually released on RareNoise. Their music draws clues from jazz, progressive rock, zappa-esque songwriting, whilst they offer shambolic and wonderful live performances (the one at the Genoa Jazz Festival in 2010 was epic). Quite unlike anything you’ll have heard before.
