It initially drew attention as the first offering from bassist Jason Newsted after he left Metallica. Echobrain was formed in 2000 by Newsted, Brian Sagrafena and Dylan Donkin who had close contact with one another throughout the late-90s after they met at a Super Bowl party at Jason's in 1995. On a road trip to Baja, Mexico, Sagrafena and Donkin recorded some rough demos that, when they came home, eventually caught Jason's attention. Jason then offered to help them out on bass and assist their songwriting. In May 2000, they entered a studio to record the demos more professionally, with help from several musicians including Kirk Hammett of Metallica, cellist and composer David Teie, and Jim Martin, former Faith No More guitarist.

The band is non-active since 2005, although all members have other projects currently in progress. Guitarist Dylan Donkin has a solo project, and is also a member of the San Francisco quartet The Cons. His brother, Adam, is focusing on producing emerging artists (including Dylan). Andrew Gomez fronts the acoustic rock outfit, The Cons. Jason currently plays bass for Voivod and Rock Star Supernova.

Supposedly, a great factor that caused the break-up of Echobrain was an encounter with copyright issues. Another band by the name of Echo Drain had written a song titled, "Suckerpunch" that was also used by Echobrain.

Dear Echo, please don’t listen to the haters. I loved much of your first album, as did many music buffs in my circle. Love also the 2nd album and your evolution to a prog rock sound. Keep up the great work. The real fans are those who appreciate.your various sounds and that you don’t sound like some cookie-formulaic posers. Stick with it. (Please!!)

MICHAEL WIGGINS

A real QOTSA feel about this one.

Veer Gujral

Very fresh.

Ivan Axel

This is the song that plays in The scene where Kirk and Lars go watch Echobrain in Some Kind Of Monster right?

Pedro Gutierrez

Yeah

mystical musical

this shit sucks jason... you should have explained to the group and made them understand that you wanted to do your own thing but also stayed in the group...

Joshua M. Wherley

He did explain that he wanted to do his own thing and also stay in the group. Lars, Kirk, and Bob were all supportive of this, James was not. Eventually that, along with other factors, led Jason to call it quits with Metallica and pursue other interests.
