About Flags Don't Matter, Downtown Brown, Attalus, Times A Lie, FLoAT


Culminating a weird mutant sound through rapid juxtapositions between rock, metal, punk, funk and experimental, the shape-shifting entity known as DOWNTOWN BROWN has forged a diverse sound that is as fully developed as well as it is broadly enjoyable. DTB has hypnotized thousands throughout the country with their highly-entertaining live show, long pursuing a grassroots mission to unite the people of the world in an environment where "no man shall feel stupid for wearing a giant foam cowboy hat." Their quest has hammered on since 2001, with numerous independent albums to boot – all of which garnered strong reviews from both international and local publications.

2002 marked the release of DTB's first full-length album, "Moist and Ridiculous" on Detroit-based indie STATIC RECORDS. Since, DTB has released a total of six full-length cds, including four on the band's own label CHOCOLATE STAIN RECORDS.

DTB adopted a rigid tour schedule early on, firmly establishing themselves first in the Midwest and then throughout the entire US through several self-booked national tours. These jaunts took them from coast to coast playing such notable venues as the KNITTING FACTORY in NYC and the VIPER ROOM in LA. The band was also personally invited by WARPED TOUR founder Kevin Lyman to play multiple dates on both the '06 and '07 tours. In their travels, DTB has shared the stage with numerous industry mainstays including SLIGHTLY STOOPID, PEPPER, ANDREW WK, INSANE CLOWN POSSE, THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE AQUABATS, ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES, the late WESLEY WILLIS and DEE SNIDER.


We're just a couple young NYC fools who hope to one day inspire people the same way our idols inspired us...Through an immense passion for music.
