actually produce. But they make no apologies
for being rough.
“Our music is what it is,” Braun said. “We
don’t try to be anything we are not.”
Braun said Reckless Kelly appreciates the
fan base in College Station and understands
what it is like to fit into a community such as
Aggieland.
“The whole band is a bunch of brothers,”
Braun said. “Even when we are not out on the
road we hang out, go to parties, do whatever —
like old married people or maybe a fraternity.”
The band will spend the next few months
touring with The Flatlanders and then head off
to Europe to play dates in London and festivals
in Amsterdam. Braun said Reckless Kelly will
then return to the studio to record a new album
in June followed by more touring in July.
“We’re going back to Europe with a whole
new batch of stuff, but we are going to work on
it here in our shows over the next couple of
months,” Braun said.
The band will take the stage at midnight
Friday at Shadow Canyon for the Northgate
Music Festival.
Braun said Aggies should check out the show
and hear the new songs with the best wishes of
the band.
“If I could say the thing I wanted someone to
take home from our show,” Braun said. “It would be
a good time ... and maybe a date for the evening.”

Mass. (AP) — A family court judge
dered R&B singer Bobby Brown jailed for 90 days or
he pays $63,500 in child support he owes the
other of two children he fathered.
Brown, released from a Georgia jail early so he
luld attend the contempt hearing, cried as he was
d from the courtroom. He was to be jailed in the
orfolk County House of Correction.
ludge Paula Carey issued the ruling after Brown,
tsband of singer Whitney Houston, testified that he
as unable to pay support he owes for children, now
2 and 14, that he fathered with Kim Ward, of
Brown, a Roxbury native, was released Monday,
iree days early, from the Georgia jail where he had
een serving a 60-day sentence on a probation viola-
ion stemming from a drunk driving charge.
Urn, 35, also is charged with misdemeanor bat-
iry after he allegedly hit Houston, leaving her with a
raised cheek and a cut lip. He is scheduled to
ppearMay 5 in a Fulton County, Ga., court on that
(large.
Carey said the financial statement the troubled for
mer pop star provided the court “lacks all credibility,”
and declined his lawyers’ offers to pay $10,000 by the
end of Wednesday, an additional $15,000 within 10
days and negotiate the rest.
Brown, who was more than four hours late for the
hearing, testified in a hushed voice, telling the judge
that he was unable to pay because he had no job and
no income.
“I never wanted this to happen,” he said.
His attorney, Vincent Dimmock, said although
Brown had been a successful pop singer in the 1980s
and early 1990s, he has “been nowhere near that in
recent years.”
Brown said he planned to have an album out within
30 days and begin production of movie in Los
Angeles. But after the judge was told Brown had not
received an advance for the album, Carey said “I
don’t find it credible that no money has been
advanced at all.”
Ward’s attorney, Linda Medonis, said her client
sought the money only on her children’s behalf.
Brown left R&B group New Edition in the late 1980s
for a solo career. His hits include “My Prerogative”
and “Every Little Step," but he has become more
famous for his numerous brushes with the law and
his turbulent marriage with Houston. The couple lives
in the Atlanta area.
Houston, who recently checked herself into a drug reha
bilitation center, did not attend Wednesday’s hearing.
