The band released two albums, Got It Made (released in 2000) and Gettin' Wise (released in 2003). Their early singles were released on the Costermonger imprint and from 1999 they were signed to the Wiiija label.
Their sound started out as sassy garage indie rock, but as time went on more of their influences began to come through as their sound took in funk and hip-hop. Their live performances were often energetic affairs with Spencer commanding the audience in call and response, kitted out in her trademark boxing kit with Barrington adding beats and scratching, often switching between drum kit and drum machine mid-song. They also looked to the hip-hop community for remixes from the likes of Rob Swift and The Nextmen.
Brassy recorded two sessions for the John Peel show, in 1996 and 2000.
Good Times
Brassy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sound just fine to me
Where I want to
Oh no can't be stopped
Take a good look at what you've got
Where I want to be
Can't you see, can't you see
Something I'll never be
Sounds just fine to me
Where I want to
Maybe tonight do you suppose
Find something new and overdose
Where I want to be
Can't you see, can't you see
I don't need anything from anyone
I just want some
Good times
Good times
Looking out for a ride
Anywhere would be alright
Where I want to
Oh no, can't be stopped
Take a good look at what you've got
Where I want to be
Can't you see, can't you see
I don't need anything from anyone
I just want some
Good times
