News & Events

A UK-based graffiti artist known as Banksy made the news this week as word got out that he smuggled his own art into the Metroplitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Modern Art, all earlier in March.  For more details on the story, see the CNN coverage, the documentation at the Wooster Collective, or visit his website at banksy.co.uk. While a UK-based dancer named Banksy appeared on multiple Meat Beat Manifesto tours (he can also be seen in the Edge of No Control video) it appears that it's a different Banksy (Richard Banks, not Robert Banks). Regardless, we here at The Brain wholly support the "droplift" (as opposed to shoplift) concept and encourage all bands to sneak their CDs into local music stores.
