The band were formed in 1980, following the disbandment of the local punk band The Stupid Humans. Guitarist Bruce and drummer Andy were accompanied by original bassist Grant, previously from the band Audio Torture. The band were initially known as Superhumans, but changed their name to Subhumans shortly after the arrival of vocalist Dick – previously of The Mental. By the end of 1980, drummer Andy had left and was replaced by Trotsky, who has drummed for the band to this day.

Neighbor Hood Brats

Neighborhood Brats is a California punk band formed in December 2010 by vocalist Jenny Angelillo, guitarist George Rager, drummer Kirk Podell and bassist Jasmine Watson. Originally based in San Francisco, Rager and Angelillo (the band’s principal songwriters) relocated frequently around and between northern and southern California during the band’s formative years. As the band began booking tour dates in the US and Europe, replacement members were brought in to keep the band road-ready.

2013 brought the EP Total Dementia (recorded at a facility that had previously been Death Row Records). Publicity, positive reviews and regional touring attracted enough attention to begin touring Europe, which would become a mainstay for the band’s road activity. Watson briefly re-appeared for a 2013 European tour following the release of Total Dementia.

In 2014, with Dan Graziano on bass and Podell back in the mix, the band recorded their first official LP, Recovery. Production of Recovery was a difficult process; Angelillo was dealing with personal issues and Rager was mid-divorce. Rehearsals were limited to three short sessions prior to tracking, and recording sessions were sandwiched between multiple tours. The Recovery lineup was short-lived; drummer Mike Shelbourn replaced Podell in summer 2014. Shelbourn would remain an intermittent member for several years.

The financial reality of punk touring, lack of US booking support, lineup changes and record pressing plant delays proved to be a challenge for Rager, who handled a majority of the band’s business. By January 2015, Shelbourn had bowed out of a US tour due to an emergency, and Angelillo had relocated back to the San Francisco Bay Area. In the aftermath, a 6 month hiatus occurred (Rager’s initial decision to end the band was short-lived).

Neighborhood Brats returned to touring in 2016 with dates in the US, Canada and Europe. In 2017, Angelillo, Rager and Shelbourn began preparing to record what would become the Night Shift 7”. In late 2018, the Night Shift session, coupled with a second session, were assembled to form the band’s second LP, Claw Marks.

Originally formed to pay tribute to guitar hero and folk legend Jerry Garcia, the Andy Coe Band has evolved into the liveliest psychedelic jam band to come out of the Pacific Northwest in years. Guitarist Andy Coe, with Gary Palmer on keys, Chris Jones on bass, and Scott Goodwin on drums, deliver stellar improvisational tunes in mystical proportions.

Andy Coe – Guitar & Vocals

With a rich background in jazz and a joyful enthusiasm for blues and psychedelic rock, Andy Coe is recognized as a deeply intuitive, emotive guitarist. As an architect of sound and style, Coe draws in listeners, making collective exploration and resolution accessible across genres. Born and raised in Seattle, Andy played in the critically acclaimed Roosevelt Highschool Jazz band before going on to graduate from the music department of the University of North Texas. He has played venues and festivals around the country and world ever since.

Andy has performed with many great musicians including Jimmy Page, Duff McKagen, Jerry Cantrell, Kim Thayil, Paul Rogers, Rich Robinson, Reggie Workman, Rashied Ali, Ravi Coltrane, Norah Jones, Stanton Moore, Mike Clark, Bobby Previtte, Skerik, Mike Dillon, Karl Denson, Wil Blades and many others. Currently, Andy resides in Seattle and plays in Skerik’s Bandalabra, Tuatara, McTuff and the Andy Coe Band among others.

Gary Palmer – Keys & Vocals

Originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Gary Palmer zigged and zagged his way from the Midwest to Texas, then to Chicago, and finally out to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Along the way, he met many fine musicians including the notorious Andy Coe. Upon moving to Seattle, Gary’s keyboard creativity branched out in a variety of directions. He continued to play with Andy in the psychedelic rock band In Lake’ch, he lent a hand to the indy rock group Polygraph Liar, and he also worked with singer-songwriter Josh Morrison in St. Kilda.

Gary can currently be found making waves of live electronica in his double drum-set double synthesizer band Gems, improvising piano music for ballet and modern dance, or exploring the ever new and unexpected musical frontiers in the Andy Coe Band. In the ACB, Gary draws continual inspiration from the incomparable talent and musicianship of his bandmates and, of course, from the insanely beautiful musical canon passed down by the Grateful Dead.

Chris Jones – Bass & Vocals

Chris Jones listened to ELP’s “Tarkus” on stereo headphones at age 6 and his whole world changed.  He realized there is an expanding universe of music that is complex, beautiful, and sometimes terrifying.  When he got a bass in his hands in 6th grade, that was it.  He worked to re-create music from his early bass heroes like Flea,  Les Claypool, Phil Lesh, and Ray Brown.  He played in every ensemble his school had to offer and formed multiple bands to fill the gaps.

Chris has filled his life with an education at the University of Washington, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and a career at the Village Theater.  He would like people to know he has played with Wynton Marsalis and Kenny Garrett but he has also played with The Osmonds, Nelson, and Bowser from “Sha Na Na.”  His recent Seattle bands include M. Bison, Bad Dream Good Breakfast, Eternal Fair, and Discs of Fury.

Chris’ approach to music is to be as diverse as possible to be ready for any situation.  His favorite music to play is open-ended and has no rules.  He learned the rules to know how to break them.  In The Andy Coe Band, through improvisation, he is reliving the first time he put on those headphones. 

Scott Goodwin – Drums & Vocals

Scott Goodwin is a drummer, vocalist and songwriter featuring rock, country, funk and jazz stylings. Having achieved a Bachelor of Music at Eastern Washington University, Scott teaches music at the Seattle Drum School and regularly performs with The Andy Coe Band, RL Heyer, The Papillon Saints and Flowmotion along with many others. Residing in Seattle, Scott is one of the region’s most sought after drummers and regularly tours California, Alaska and the Northwest with various artists.

Scott has played on and written songs for a number of albums including The True Spokes(2012), Flowmotion-Ghost Pepper(2009) and The RL Heyer Trio-Turn Me Upside Down(2009). He has performed with a number of artists such as Lee Oscar, Vicci Martinez, Tim Bluhm, Steve Kimock, Tony Furtado, Marco Benevento and the Everyone Orchestra. 

Playing with the Andy Coe Band over the last 5 years has been a great thrill giving Scott a chance to improvise and sing a whole lot. The interactive music and massive song list make it a non-stop adventure!www.andycoe.org / www.andycoeband.com
