Biography:
Braid formed in Champaign, IL in 1993. Formed by guitarist and singer Bob Nanna and drummer Roy Ewing, Braid played their first show December 10, 1993 in Danville, IL. After many line up changes and Bob Nanna's other band, Friction, breaking up, Braid finally became a full time band and started recording. With a lineup consisting of Nanna, Ewing, guitarist/singer Chris Broach, and bassist Todd Bell, the group recorded their debut album "Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five" in 1995 for Divot Records. The album consisted of 26 songs, a song for each letter of the alphabet. "The Age of Octeen" was released the next year for Polyvinyl. Their landmark album, "Frame and Canvas" was released in 1998 after drummer Roy Ewing left and was replaced by Damon Atkinson. Braid broke up in 1999. Nanna, Bell, and Atkinson formed Hey Mercedes and Broach formed The Firebird Band. Braid reunited for a 2004 tour.
