Artist History After writing 20 or 30 songs for bands that would and could not share his vision, Chris Brown decided to form a (mostly) one man band and record the songs himself. The result is Ochmoneks. With three albums under his belt, Chris is currently hiding away preparing new material and rehearsing for live shows. The Ochmoneks band, since its incarnation, has had a virtual revolving door of musicians, but now has seemed to solidify with Steve Swallow, Fabrizio Federico, and Joe Pelosi.

Press Reviews "...Band from Massachusetts [that]assembles dark, late night stalking tunes for creeps, weirdos and those who thrive on alienation. You'd better hope you don't know this guy, because he is carrying around some serious beef."-Doug Russell, Listen.com "the content of [ochmoneks]songs are so diverse, melodic, creative, and thought provoking..."-Darcee Seegle, MUEN.net "Chris Brown has discovered and tastefully exploited his true talent as a creator of hard-edged melodies." -Andrew Magilow, splendidezine.com›
