Brad Hamers
Poet, philosopher, warrior-saint... This former Phlegm frontman, some-time photographer, performer, author, activist, collage artist and super-star mental gymnast currently resides in Portland, Oregon--where he enjoys large trees, cheap rent, relentless rain, arthouse films, and indie book stores.
Founded Three Sides Of A Circle Productions (3SC) in 2000, responsible for the critically acclaimed Phlegm debut "One Night Stands With Out Of Tune Instruments In A Room With Blue Wallpaper". After Slomoshun fell off, Brad went on to release his solo follow up entitled "Cut Ups Of A Paper Woman" almost entirely produced by Mr. Hamers himself. Guest production on 2 tracks was handled by Nobs. (+1 trk by Just Like Us) (+1 by Slomoshun)
2004 found Mr. Hamers linking up with long time friend Panzah Zandahz(now known as Big Pauper) to create the sonic masterpiece "Two Ton Sloth". After a slew of releases through PZ's Token Recluse imprint, Brad returned to New York as a founding member of the New Police Collective.
Mr. Hamers is also responsible for releasing 2 books, a spoken word LP, a handful of Singles, An Art/Poetry Book Series (Only Children) and touring extensively through Europe with PZ/Big Pauper.
Brad has recently released a new solo LP: 'Post No Dreams' (Nov.2010) (the last official release of Token Recluse Recordings)...
..& Plans to release a side-project solo LP called 'communiques', a Two Ton Sloth follow up on VHS, another book and an EP with the producer, Frietboer from The Netherlands (together known as Dust On Snow) are all on the horizon.
