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.

Title: Science Faction Review
Author: Foxy

Volumen - Science Faction (W�ntage USA Records, 2006)
In the outback of Montana's mountains with it's vast geography and low population density two childhood friends - both growing up a bike ride away from hundreds of underground nuclear warheads - formed their band Volumen. Their base is experimental rock with traces of new-wave, art rock and some kind of indie, all made with a lot of creativity. The ideas are interesting and the music is intelligent. Both lyrics and compositions manage to challenge the listener on several levels. Glockenspiels blends with noisy, reverse guitar feedback and steady machine-like drums, space echo vocals, samples of war-related newsreels and computer-generated effect etc. This is music with a lot of integrity and a very personal touch, the guys have a story to tell and even though the experiments do not always succeed Volumen has my full respect.

If you dig: The Sugarplasic with more raw power�
