Lucy Brown was a funk rock and metal band active in the Washington D.C. region during the 1990s.
History
The group was established in 1987 by bassist and lead vocalist Scott Llewellyn, guitarist Luis Peraza Jr., and drummer Chris Neuberg. In 1988, they produced a self-titled album under the D.C.-based label T.O.G. Records. This vinyl-only release saw limited distribution and sales, confining its recognition primarily to the Washington D.C. area.
With the addition of lead vocalist Gene Hawkins while Llewellyn continued on bass, Lucy Brown secured a deal with Megaforce Records and issued another self-titled album in 1991. Unfortunately, this release did not achieve commercial success, leading to the termination of their contract with Megaforce.
In 1992, Llewellyn left the band and was succeeded by Jon Papazoglou. Their last recording effort was the Five Dogs Dead EP, released through the local Death Rebel label. The group dissolved following Gene Hawkins' death in 1994 due to a heroin overdose. Currently, Luis Peraza Jr. along with Eric Schwelling run Atomic Music, a company operating two musical instrument stores serving the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
