Here is an interview I did that night with the Bes sax player Brady McCowan. As I learned, guitarist and band leader Bronson Bragg and Brady are both professional musicians who also teach music. As you can tell from the interview, these are decent human beings who also, I can assure you, happen to put out a really rich and intricate progressive rock sound. One of the Bandcamp tags for their music is "nerd rock." If that translates as friendly and funny, that is certainly how the band comes across. Even their promotional efforts drip high quality. Their most recent music video, Masochist, is a masterpiece visually, and features their nerdy slapstick side. All-in-all, these guys have a breakththrough quality about them.
