BRAINAL UNIT

[1971 ~ 1973]

Influences: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Syd Barrett,
Cat Stevens, and a pinch of Simon & Garfunkel

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

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