O’s Notes: Brainkiller is a trio with trombonist Brian Allen, Jacob Koller on keyboards and drummer Hernán Hecht. They play an eclectic mix of acid rock, club, and fusion that kept us guessing track to track. The sound is unpredictable in an engaging way with enough different twists to appeal to a large audience, much more than you would expect from a trombone/piano/drum trio. We found more to like than not with favorites “Scrible”, “Otaku Goes To A Rave” and “Empty Words”.
