Brian cut his teeth in the eclectic NoCal garage band scene of the late 80s/early 90s. He started out on guitar, first in Trainload of Screaming Cats on Fire, then in Bastard Cousins. After relocating to Minnesota, he switched to bass and joined Box of Steaks. After establishing himself as the premiere bassist in his apartment, he rocked the upper midwest with Third Wheel for three years. During this period he co-founded his current band - Higgins. He then abruptly and inexplicably left the state. Only now, a decade later, has technology advanced to the point where Higgins could re-unite.
