Braindance is a NYC-based alternative metal musical group. Formed in 1992 by electric guitarist - record producer, Vora Vor, and drummer Rob Notoris as a progressive rock band, the group added vocalist Sebastian Elliott later that year. Bassist Eiki Matsumoto and keyboardist Robyn Naylor filled out the lineup (1993–1996). Matsumoto left the project to be replaced by former Ion Vein bassist, Andrew Bunk (1996). Notoris, Naylor, and Bunk departed the band to pursue other projects (1997–1999), although Bunk later returned to record on the band's 2014 fourth album, Master Of Disguise.
TSO bassist David Z, Matisyahu drummer Jonah David, and singer-songwriter Becca Schack joined the group for live performances (2003–2005).[1] Schack stayed on, joined by Natalia Eth to add background vocals for Master Of Disguise. Trey Gunn Band and League of Crafty Guitar Players member, Tony Geballe added additional electric guitar and saz parts.
Braindance added drummer Kenny Grohowski, keyboardist and videographer Mario Pinzon, and vocalists Emily Lesbros and Emiloo Weibel for live shows 2014–2016.
Braindance is currently recording their fifth album, also produced by Vora Vor scheduled for release in 2022.
