About Big Brown Cow
Big Brown Cow is the solo live project of Sprain and Shearling frontman Alexander Gregory Kent. Dealing in a far more intimate and stripped back sound than the maximalist Noise Rock Kent is known for, Big Brown Cow has become Kent's primary solo stage name. There have been a variety of concerts done under this pseudonym, particularly booked with the involvement of LA local, performance artist, and experimental musician Hollywood Johnny. Many of the concerts done under this pseudonym have been recorded and uploaded online by a variety of sources of varying quality. The most beloved, officially backed, and high quality recordings of this project have predominantly been done by California-based recording group and record label Dead Mothers Collective, with the March 22, 2024 and May 25, 2025 recordings being extremely high quality and popular examples of the project. Dead Mothers Collective commonly record Kent's other endeavors as well, such as Shearling, and have been placed as a cornerstone of underground "post-everything" music. Kent has stated on multiple occasions that the purpose of this pseudonym is primarily to be a testing ground for tracks that will be released under his key projects, most notably Shearling. Songs such as (unofficial titles used): "Glued to my Reflection", "Daniel", "Undressed", and "Love Me" have all been either confirmed to be for or actually utilized within Shearling tracks, and more are allegedly to come as there are no plans for any studio material under this name to ever be released. Despite this, in March of 2026, merchandise under this name was released by Shearling's label, Mishap Records, further legitimizing this pseudonym's place as a key part of Kent's artistic endeavors. Big Brown Cow also acts as a testing ground for different experiments that Kent wishes to delve into, such as his 8-piece guitar ensemble performed July 24th, 2025 and his improvisational noise set performed at Coaxial Arts on August 9th, 2024. While it is a solo project, for experiments like these Kent is sometimes joined by other musicians from the underground LA experimental music scene. All Big Brown Cow bootlegs and recordings can be found on the well-established Shearling tracker, maintained primarily by Shearling community moderators Humid Garden and Naskivik. As well as that, they can be commonly found through Humid Garden's YouTube channel and the archive's connected Internet Archive uploads.
