A MOTOWN NATIVE, ERIC BRENDO DEVELOPED HIS UNDYING APPETITE FOR THE MUSIC LIFE WHILE WORKING FOR DETROIT BASED SOUL SINGER ROBERT BRADLEY (ROBERT BRADLEY'S BLACKWATER SURPRISE).
AFTER SEVERAL LAPS AROUND THE U.S., HIS PASSION FOR WRITING LYRICS SPAWNED. WITH THE RECOGNITION OF HIS TALENT, HE BEGAN WRITING TUNES WITH BAND MEMBERS ANDREW AND MICHAEL NEHRA AND THE THREE WOULD ENTER THE WORLD FAMOUS WHITE ROOM STUDIOS TO RECORD A VARIETY OF TRACKS WHICH INCLUDED DRUMMER MATT CHAMBERLAIN (FIONA APPLE, DAVID BOWIE, TORI AMOS, WALLFLOWERS) AND LEGENDARY MOTOWN COMPOSER/ARRANGER PAUL RISER (STEVIE WONDER, BILL WITHERS).
DURING THIS TIME ERIC LINKED UP WITH ROBERT EBELING AND SOON FORMED A BAND "DOWNTOWN" AND BROUGHT THEIR UNIQUE SOUND TO NEW YORK CITY.
