TIPS:A few things that you need to remember in order to enjoy a safe, fun-filled evening with your friends out on the town.

1. Make sure of the evenings entertainment, by calling or stopping by early to confirm things.
2. Pick a designated drivers, BEFORE you head out.
3. Check on possible cover charges and minimum age restrictions.
4. Before making a long road trip to hear one of your favorite groups, be sure to allow for safe travel time; and double check the directions, if you have not been to the club before.
5. Budget your spending, and keep cash on your person, and don't let someone you don't know "watch your drink", when you have to visit the facilities.
6. Get to know the security/"bouncers" at your favorite clubs; they are there to aid customers if there gets to be any serious problems with crowd behavior or harassing persons in the room.

Brother's has been a landmark in Jacksonville, for over 20 years. We have been host to hundreds of rock bands here in the college town of Jacksonville, Alabama since our first evening of business in 1976.

We are always considering new bands that would be willing to set up gigs early in the week--sometimes on short notice, but for a very receptive college audience. If you have a group with a bio/promotional tape or packet, please feel free to "snail mail" or e-mail it to us. We will review these materials and may ask your band to play for us in the future.

Recently Brother's played host to a very 'rowdy' audience; with the VELCRO PYGMIES setting the musical background. Their extended song sets, covered a wide-variety of classic rock anthems from KISS, POISON, to their own "This Ain't NO Beverly Hills" and "Mona Lisa".

To the disappointment of the very excited audience, the band was told they could no longer play past 2 am. (Past show have seen the PYGMIES play until the 'wee hours' of the morning!). Even with this stipulation on their lengthy musical sets, the band was witness to some rather "steamy" behavior from a couple in front of the stage...use your imagination (unless you saw it for yourself, you probably wouldn't believe it!).

If you and your friends are looking for excitement, good looking members of the opposite sex, and don't mind the audience (or the band) being sexual, sweaty...this band is one you will want to see the next time they roll into "Brother's" for a Thursday evening show!
