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.
Who Stole the Show
Brassy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did, like a true virtuoso
Took you to the places they dare not go
Leading like I do, follow
You just can't get enough of it
Oh, my control
Who stole the show?
The floor moving out from underneath your feet
Our minds crystal clear, no one coming near
Hard to the core, high to the low
You know the rest, not even close
Who stole the show?
We did you know!
Serve them on a plate just the way you like
Now you can't comprehend
The miracles we perform when we're on the sight
Who stole the show?
We did you know!
