Brody was always the funniest guy in the room- he always closed CDR, because no one else could possibly follow him. #RIP https://t.co/QX8ji3Uuxz

Brody Stevens was so full of energy and passion. It was infectious. The last time I saw him perform, he walked out into the audience at the Satellite and did a 10 minute drum solo to a jaded crowd. He always persisted. He always pushed. 818.
