Nestled among the transvestites and derelicts of Central Hollywood's Vine Street is the Villa Elaine Apartments, former home to Man Ray, Henry Miller, and Orson Welles, and the birthplace of Silver. Something about the building breeds bohemian creativity, and somehow, through sheer will and unabating talent, Silver is in the vortex of it all. Silver both enhances and feeds off the artistic community of Vine Street, writing and recording in their loft apartment, slogging away in dank bars, and playing downtown rooftops instead of industry showcases. Brandon McCulloch is Silver's lady-killing lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist. The son of a diplomat father and professor mother, Brandon grew up in twenty-two countries, including Spain, India, Singapore, and Costa Rica. He was introduced to music by his art-fanatic mother, who bought him his first guitar at age eight. The jazz and classical instruction that followed (along with a keen intellect and sardonic sense of humor) influence his moody, melodic, and unique song writing to this day. Silver released their debut CD, Red City, in 2002. Beloved by both fans and critics, the record included the underground hit 'Temporary Girl,' which went to number one on NYC internet radio (bumrock.com) for 3 weeks. 'A Train is Coming' was a huge success when played on Chicago's 101fm radio show 'Inside Track,' receiving over 25 calls in the minutes following the spin, from excited and curious listeners. Silver's live shows have been enthusiastically covered by LA Weekly since 2001 - and the band has recently come back from a series of successful shows in Chicago. Silver's fervent, loyal, and growing fan base is eager for the release of their latest E.P., Dreams in Black, which includes the infectious and bluesy live hit, "Beat Boy Baby," and "Did I Lose You," which Blender magazine's editor-in-chief Andy Pemberton called "The best unsigned hit in America." Silver's recent live shows have been their most electric to date, and the band's onstage chemistry is unmatched. Brandon's mournful voice soars through his guitar-driven, art-rock songs about unrequited love, drug busts, and life in Central Hollywood.
