Max Brody (born Matthew Woods Brody, 1969) is an American musician based near Seattle, Washington, best known as the drummer/saxophonist for the industrial metal band Ministry from 1999 to 2004
Brody was born in the town of Elgin, Illinois, and was raised there until the age of five, when his family relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona. He started playing clarinet in the second grade, switching to saxophone as soon as he could reasonably hold one. By high school, he and his brother, Doug, were writing and recording jazzy, ambient, "new age" songs under the name "Mosaic" at their parents' house, which resulted in a series of recordings that were released in the mid-to-late 1980s on the Invincible label in Phoenix, Arizona. They also made appearances on albums by other artists on that label. Brody later taught himself to play drums.
After his graduation from high school in 1987, Brody moved to Claremont, California, and graduated from Pomona College in 1991. Moving back and forth from Los Angeles to Seattle, he eventually settled on Austin, from where his favorite bands came.
He met his wife, Sherry, on the set of A.I. ; she was an extra in the film. They married in 2004, in Arizona. They have one child named Isabella. Divorced in 2010, he now has full custody of his daughter and lives in Washington state. [1] [2]
After graduating from college, Brody moved to Seattle and played in local rock bands. Finding the Seattle scene saturated, he moved to Austin, Texas, in 1994. There, he met and became a musical partner of Rey Washam, the drummer for such seminal punk/hardcore acts as Rapeman, Scratch Acid and the Big Boys. They went on to form the short-lived Euripides Pants, which had a number of infamous Austin musicians. Washam later went on to drum for Ministry.
In late spring 1999, Brody received a call from a Ministry co-performer, Paul Barker, who offered him the opportunity to perform saxophone parts during their ill-fated Dark Side of the Spoon tour. He later went on to perform half of the drumming for their 2003 Animositisomina tour and album, as well as the follow-up Houses of the Molé .
He also appeared as the drummer for the Flesh Fair Band (a.k.a. Ministry) in the Kubrick/Spielberg (2001) film A.I..
Brody continued to work with Austin musicians like Brett Bradford (Scratch Acid), Jeff Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Jason Craig (Pocket FishRmen), Jimbo Yongue (Daddy Longhead), Randy Turner (Big Boys), Paul Barker (Ministry), Mike Scaccia (Ministry) Danny Barnes (Bad Livers) and John Hawkins (Crust), and with Seattle musicians Chris Ballew (Presidents of the United States of America) and Tad Doyle (TAD) as well as the New York musicians Victor Poison-tete (Rat At Rat R), Stu Spasm (Lubricated Goat), the Italian conceptual artist Daniele Santaguiliana (Testing Vault),the Swedish guitar player Tobias Eriksson (Light Screamer/Daisy Pusher), the Los Angeles music supervisor Jeff Kinart and others in many different music projects.
Having learned a great deal about production during his years in Ministry while expanding the number of instruments he plays, he began to produce records and events on his own, and started a multimedia company called Darkstack with the Austin visual artist D Kithcart. In 2012, he moved to Shoreline, Washington, with his daughter. From 2013 to 2018, he had a band with Danny Barnes (formerly of the Bad Livers) called the Test Apes. He continues to release solo projects through Bandcamp.
The breasts are two prominences located on the upper ventral region of the torso among humans and other primates. Both sexes develop breasts from the same embryological tissues. The relative size and development of the breasts is a major secondary sex distinction between females and males. There is also considerable variation in size between individuals. Female humans are the only mammals which permanently develop breasts at puberty; all other mammals develop their mammary tissue during the latter period of pregnancy; at puberty, estrogens, in conjunction with growth hormone, cause permanent breast growth.
