Born and raised in New York, Brokaw caught alot of the of the mighty greats that came through the local scene at the time before deciding to relocate to Ohio for college and a new direction in life. Eventually he worked his way up to Boston, met the Allin brothers and briefly joined their outfit, GG Allin and The Aids Brigade. As the 90s rolled around he would soon meet Stephen Immrwahr and John Engle, joining their group Codeine. As a newly formed trio, the band would go on to record their 1990 masterpiece, "Frigid Stars LP". Shortly after departing from Codeine, Brokaw formed the band Come, releasing a number of great LP's on Matador throughout the remaining 90s. Brokaw still plays with Codeine and Come to this day. Enjoy!
