Founder of the “Wantagh Bootgaze” branch of early 90’s acid-wave, Superauthority’s Brandt Tabin credits much of his sound to the dark peculiarities of his early life. Orphaned as an infant, Brandt was begrudgingly taken in by his grandfather-cum-amateur inventor Dr. Maximillian Tabin, to live in his decaying house-laboratory in Hempstead, NY. Brandt peeked through doorways as the elder Tabin, descending into paranoid madness, researched and developed far-fetched but extremely lethal weaponry including “remote-activated deadly-to-the-touch tarantula spiders,” a supposed “brain-thoughts broadcasting radio implant” and the poisoned “Tabin Needle.”
