Bryan Hickey
Bryan "Bubbles" Hickey, as astute readers may already have surmised, is, in fact, the younger brother of Shane. Bryan’s hobbies, in declining order of the ardor he reserves for them, read as follows: All things WEEN-related, Britney Spears, WEEN, video gambling, Britney Spears and WEEN. Like the youngest Hickey brother, Colin (whose Bon Scott-like vocal prowess and resplendent Afro grace another Missoula band, the International Playboys), middle child Bryan moved to Missoula from Laramie, Wyoming to be where the rock’n’roll action was. His bass prowess is second to none, and his mild-mannered, sweetly smiling stage presence makes him a real joy to watch. And boy did we share a laugh we he revealed that he’d been dating a 14-year old.

VOLUMEN - “(((CRIES FROM SPACE)))” (2002)
The best word I’ve yet heard to describe the Volumen would be “cheeky”. Definitely coming from the same school of rock as ’80s college radio bands as the Young Fresh Fellows and The Dead Milkmen, there’s a playfullness in these tracks that I’m sure is annoying to some, jump-up-and-down great to others. Plus, there’s a sci-fi angle that’s hard for my dorky side to ignore.
The band’s from Missoula, Montana, and a good friend of mine spent a year in that town, working on a weekly publication. He knows the folks in the Volumen, and right before putting this post together I asked him if he had any good tibdits of information about them to pass along to you. He said “Uhh…umm…they all live in the same house together…they play great shows…they’re obsessed with outer space…they’re all from Missoula, Montana…I’m in one of their short films! You can see it on the Volumen website!” Gee — thanks, Dan.
