Career

While a member of Braid, Broach also played in The Firebird Suite. After Braid disbanded Broach continued playing in The Firebird Band (formerly the Firebird Suite and Firebird Project). He played guitar for Life at Sea on the Is there a signal coming through? album and fronted the band L'Spaerow which put out one album on his own label – the label is Lucid Records – which he founded in 2002. Broach, along with Chris Common of These Arms Are Snakes, and former Hey Mercedes guitarist Mike Schumaker were involved in a project entitled The Blakhiv. They released their first EP on Lucid Records in 2006.

Currently

  • Broach and Steve Znavor streamed the new record at Billboard Magazine under the name Sunset, but changed the name to SNST just prior to actual digital release (April 28th, 2017).
  • Broach successfully funded a new Firebird Album raising 15k with a Kickstarter campaign. The funds will cover recording, mixing, producing, and mastering the record. Will Yip will be producing the record.
