They have earned numerous songwriting awards from Boston to Austin and have gained a following across the Atlantic as well. Their self-produced debut CD came out in 1995. Their second CD Minnesota was produced by Lloyd Maines (of Dixie Chicks fame) in Austin, TX with some of the finest musicians that town has to offer. Minnesota received rave reviews.

MUSIC OPEN MIKE - 8 PM -
come on out to hear this great band!.. great fun for a spring night!
Brandon crawled out of the desert north of los angeles known as palmdale
(also home to afroman and frank zappa.) By day he is a lab rat on first avenue,
by night he noodles with steel strings. Melissa hails from daly city, ca.
by day she is a grad-student andinner-city educator. by night she is a musicalicist.
along with brandon, she continues to write songs as a means to explore what
escapes prosaic language. melissa does not sleep. brandon is usually hungry.
GLASS RATS hatched out of open mic love betweentwo berkelian, pinoy, aquarians. If PJ Harvey, Portishead, and the White Stripes had an orgy while listening to '80 post punk pop and spawned a couple of reasonably attractive fraternal twins, that would be f-cking amazing. It would also sound like the GLASS RATS.
