Who is Brook Pridemore?

Brook Pridemore is an American singer-songwriter affiliated with the Antifolk scene in New York City. He has released five albums on the Bronx-based record label Crafty Records, and co-produced a compilation of antifolk acts for that label called Anticomp Folkilation. He has contributed to numerous other compilations, and recently shared a split 7-inch with Ghost Mice for Plan-It-X Records. According to the music review blog Earbuddy.net Brooks highly anticipated sixth full length “Gory Details,” is due out in mid to late 2013. It includes the singles “Listening to TPM,” which features Joseph Michelini of New Jersey indie/folk rock act River City Extension, and "Celestial Heaven". Brook has already shot and released music videos for both singles and "Celestial Heaven" was recently picked up by Reug Vision, Inc / World Live Music & Distribution to debut on VEVO in late June 2013.

Brook Lived in Kalamazoo, MI for years doing back yard shows and working dead end jobs to pay for his musical endeavors. Brook was known to sing about the things his friends did, or that he saw while hanging out downtown, just for something to do.

He has toured the United States numerous times and mounted his first European tour in the fall of 2009. Due to his experience playing many house shows on tour, Pridemore and his roommates were inspired to turn his own apartment into a performing venue for local antifolk acts and touring bands; they titled it the Brooklyn Tea Party. January 2010 saw the commencement of the Multinational Perspiration Tour, an undertaking which will see Pridemore, with tandem partners including The Hit and Miss Engines, Doug Cote, Liv Carrow, Crazy and the Brains and Father, Son and Holy Smokes, perform across the US, Canada, and various European countries before the tour ended in New York on June 19, 2010.
