Brothers From Another (BFA)
Brothers From Another (BFA) are grinding their way through the hard rock music scene one stop at a time. Quickly becoming one of the most popular live acts in years, BFA plays every show as if it was their last day on Earth. When BFA performs, it is profound display of powerful rock songs with unforgettable melodies. The raw energy radiating from the stage affects anyone with a lively spirit, and the songs stick in your brain like candy in your teeth.

Mungus: A booming voice and raucous
attitude make him the perfect front man.

Meaty: Grinding guitar rhythms, fluid leads, and
unerring vocal harmonies perfectly compliment

Mungus’ melodies.

Ch.tei (chee tee): Polished, thundering drums that
beat in flawless time.

Grasso: Solid, heavy riffs, explosive electric style and a
driven rhythm accompaniment.

Larva: Deep, driving bass and some female groove make the
finest lowend broth.

It could be stated that BFA formed at the birth of the three Keenan brothers, Mungus, Meaty and Ch.tei. Born and raised on music, they grew up in Hollywood, PA (a little town modeled after the slightly more popular Hollywood, CA in the 1930’s). It is more accurate to say that the band came together when the brothers connected with bassist Slap in early 2002. With the addition of Slap, the band started writing, rehearsing and performing. BFA also started to demo their songs with Grammy Award winning producer, David Ivory (The Roots, Erykah Badu, Silvertide).
Everything was starting to materialize when drummer Ch.tei was involved in a near fatal electrocution accident that required the amputation of both feet. The story of his survival and his triumph over astounding odds to walk again, let alone play the drums, makes “VH1’s Behind THE MUSIC” seem like a monotonous tedium. With Ch.tei back on drums after only four months of rehabilitation, BFA banded with producers/engineers, Ron Allaire (Keith Richards, The Ramones, Queen Latifah, Bo Diddely) and Jonathan Mover (Fuel, Oleander, Joe Satriani). With the experience of Allaire and Mover, BFA has recorded numerous future hit tracks that have a solid, cohesive and widely sought after sound.
In May 2007, Slap had left the band for personal reasons unbeknownst to the brothers. Distraught and looking to fill the void, the brothers recruited guitarist Grasso and bass player Larva forming the new and improved line-up. Currently BFA tours and records year round. Whether in their hometown or on the road, you are sure to see an animal show. BFA consistently tours the country and has quickly created followings at home, in the South, Texas, California and just about anywhere they have performed. They record in Baltimore, MD with Emmy Award winning sound engineer and producer Jerome Maffeo whenever they are not touring.
As for the rest of the story, you’ll have to wait for the book to come out. But if you happen to be driving through Northeast Philadelphia and your car gets hit with a rotten apple or ten, you’re in Hollywood and the brothers are just cleaning out the yard!
