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: Jim Merrett |
Volumen - Science Faction
By Jim Merrett
Fermented in remote Montana, think of this as a cheeky, potent moonshine. An aromatic nose of Violent Femmes with grisly, full-bodied Kyuss riffage and The Cramps-style trashing about the kick that hit the back of your throat. Halfway point ‘The Launch’ even toys with OK Computer-era Radiohead. Beneath the creepy hick exterior a certain sophistication bubbles. These guys know their influences and while they toil in a relative backwater, the rest of the world has turned back on itself, digging up revival after revival, bringing them back to speed. And so redneck new-wave doesn’t sound that unlikely. The excitement mounts to the point you can feel the band playing through wide grins. Crank it up and enjoy.
