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.
