He was playing with Treeline on their last CD Prairie Sentimentalist, but also plays in hard rock trio Red Ram.
 He will be bringing his  new project Tallest to Shortest to the Slice  to play with the Dirti Speshuls on Nov. 9.


“It’s more punk than metal,” said Brewer, recovering from the Uncas’ annual  reunion show in Edmonton.


 The band is a bit of a supergroup including  Mark Feduk who plays in both Red Ram and the Uncas as well as Cory Motz from the Fails on drums and Steve Hutchinson who also plays in (gypsy/ bluegrass band) mmmBerta.

“ Basically these are the dudes I grew up with who can party as hard as I can. They can keep up with me,” he said.


“ The Uncas were kind of a rockabilly and country band. Or ‘cowpunk’ is the term, so we just dropped the country  and just played rock and roll,” he continued.


“We sing a lot of nonsensical stuff, but it makes sense to us,” he continued.
 They recorded a three song EP which can be heard on Reverbnation.


“ We basically rehearsed for a full year before we even played a show. And we’ve been doing shows for a year,” he said.


“We’re pretty damned high energy. People are a bit sheepish when they follow us, which it shouldn’t be that way. You shouldn’t ever have trepidation when playing a show,” he said adding they opened for the Sheepdogs and many other bands.
