Bio:: BrassBastardz is all about combination, synthesis and transformation. They apply these terms everywhere. Their music is colorful, energetic and constantly changing. The band is combining and transforming different styles together with various moods and diverse instruments. You can find live instruments and vocals that give pure and taintless feeling, along with synthesizers creating a more synthetic and diverse sound. BrassBastardz first début was in the beginning of 21st century when they opened for Jimmy Tenor and played in different Jazz festivals all around. After having couple of great concerts the band stopped performing. Even without live performances the band kept moving. Through these years 4 Vinyl’s where released. What’s more a designer eye-wear line from the very same vinyl with BrassBastardz music, was released. Every frame went together with their LP. It was called Vinylize and it’s still alive. In early 2005 a video was released for their song “Jiemah” and the same year it got a nomination for “Best Video of the Year”. The same year another song called “Sunrise” was used in a Russian movie called “Nevaliashka”. After a long brake Brassbastardz revived and in the end of 2009 the band released their first full album called “Waiting”. They presented it in various clubs and festivals. BrassBastardz continued the synthesis by combining their forces with different musicians: opening act for: Gotan Project, De Phazz, Candy Dulfer. After transforming it’s size and the look BrassBastardz goes on. The band shrunk from 7 people on the stage to only 4: Daiva Starinskaite aka Divah Dee – vocals, Alvydas Maciulskas – beatmachines/keys, Aurimas rimeikis – vocals/keys, Marijus Aleksa – drums. Transformations led to a release of another album - 2011.01.01 is the release date of “Synthezatorium”.
