Radar Brothers

***On March 23, RADAR BROTHERS will release The Illustrated Garden. JIM PUTNAM has found a new band of brothers in bass player BE HUSSEY drummer STEVIE TREICHEL, two partners who are equally passionate about the band. The original line-up of Radar Brothers died on January 29th, 2008. The band was on stage at the Echo in Los Angeles playing the record release show for their new album, Auditorium. After a brief hiatus, the new configuration of Radar Brothers began with live performances. Jim, Be and Stevie built a tight bond while touring together in the US and Europe. Writing together was the natural next step and Illustrated Garden represents the culmination of the Radar Brothers rebirth. The Illustrated Garden is the punchiest, most lyrically direct set of songs the band has released to date. The songs are unmistakably Radar Brothers, but the Treichel/Hussey rhythm section often pushes them in unexpected directions. (STREET DATE 3/23/2010)
