History

Brick was formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1976 from members of two bands - one disco and the other jazz. They coined their own term for disco-jazz, "dazz". They released their first single "Music Matic" on Main Street Records in 1976, before signing to the independently distributed Bang Records. Their next single, "Dazz", was released in 1976. The band continued to record for Bang records until 1982. Other hits followed: "That's What It's All About" and "Dusic" in 1977, and "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" in 1978.
