BRAINAL UNIT
Trip Folk Duo
(1971-73)
BRAINAL UNIT was an alt folk duo with twin brother Laurence and Ben Miller. Both twins wrote original material (about 50/50) singing and playing acoustic guitar. Sadly there were very few recordings made, and played only a small handful of shows during their 3 years together. BRAINAL UNIT's claim to fame is having gigged at The Cantaberry House, Ann Arbor's folk club of the day.

high school later relocated downtown in a more organized fashion,
renamed COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL (Commie High).
