Brainchild The Planet June 20, Saturday, 10pm www.brainchildjam.com www.myspace.com/brainchildjam

Brainchild, a band quartet of two guitars, bass and drums, works in a fairly exclusive area of rock music.

According to their Web site information, the Peoria-based group “integrates the feeling of jazz and soul with the intensity of shredding guitar solos” and declares that, “the best way to describe the sound is Brainchild.” On their debut CD One Word, Roy Ponce, Jake Schultz, Brandon Mooberry and Pony Boy produce tight vocal harmonies along with an intense funky rhythm section, while jamming on original tunes with blazing guitar riffs. Performers at Jay Goldberg’s Summer Camp Music Festival for five years running, this Saturday during a show at The Planet, the band will give away two weekend passes to the Universal Rhythm Assembly, another Goldberg festival production scheduled for June 26 and 27. This event, now in its third year on the Peoria Riverfront park area, focuses on ecological, earth-friendly issues with vendors and displays, and features several Illinois-related bands, including Great American Taxi, Creek Side Ramblers, and Brainchild.
