Brasstronaut hails from Vancouver B.C. Originally formed by electronic music producer, Edo Van Breemen and classical trumpet player Bryan Davies, the band gradually expanded to 4 members: John Walsh - bass, & Brennan Saul - drums. Contrary to what is commonly reported in the media, this is not a jazz band, but an experimental, orchestral rock outfit with tendencies to dabble in samplers, synthesizers, and even wind-synthesizers. In September 2009 the band added another 2 members: Sam Davidson - clarinet & Tariq Hussain - lap-steel guitar/electric guitar.

From Jan - March, 2009, the band took part in a winter residency at the Banff Centre to record their first album. Mixing is still ongoing for this LP and the scheduled release date is Feb 2010.

Brasstronaut has toured North America once in April 2009, from Vancouver to Washington D.C. Their next tour is scheduled for Mar/Apr 2010.

The band has appeared at Canadian festivals: POP Montreal 2008, Sled Island 2009, and will be appearing at Iceland Airwaves 2009 in Reykjavik, and at POP Montreal 2009.
