Bio / info
The Brainiac 5 (sometimes just Brainiac 5) is a product of the Cornwall psychedelic scene of the late 70s; the band combines psychedelic space rock of the Hawkwind variety with West Coast rock and a somewhat punkish attitude. The initial Brainiac 5 line-up of guitarist/vocalists Charles Taylor (aka Charlie Nothing) and Bert Biscoe, bassist John ‘Woody’ Wood, and drummer Steve Hudson made a name for themselves on the isolated yet thriving Cornish pub, club, and festival scene. After recording an EP, the band moved to London to take part in the booming punk club scene, and recorded an album. The band split up before the record could be released, however, and it wasn't until 1988 that Reckless put it out. After an extended sojourn in the US, Taylor returned to the UK and got back together with Wood to reform the band and start recording anew.
