"Even a fish would live longer if he kept his mouth shut." -Ancient fishing proverb

The Brokeoffs are as shy as they are drunk. There's not a lot about the past they'd tell you other than the unlikely story about being the illegitimate children of Roger Staubach, born in a briar patch to the famous bruja Burr Woman who left them to be raised by a paint huffing coyote named Gary. Who knows, it could have some truth to it.

Influenced largely by the cutting edge audio technology of the Victrola, Dave formed The Brokeoffs to, "git them ghosts to shut the fuck up." The group is largely self contained inside Dave with occasional members playing this or that depending on availability and/or the liquor situation. The latest Brokeoffs member is the honorable Ms. Holly Golightly, who has recently recorded three collaborations with the band and has been touring with for the last two years.

At the urging of Lawyer Dave the band recorded it's first record in March 2005 at a Texas rest area that was closed for repair late one night. The result was Rest Stop, a disgusting low-fi recording available now at CD Baby. (out of print)

The Brokeoffs are currently in the "studio" working on a new album that will hopefully be done at some point in the future? In the meantime, a bunch of U.S. shows are happening and another Iraq tour is in the works. To date, the band has played over 350 shows and reached an audience of well over 17 people worldwide.
