The Super Noble Brothers – Mark Escribano

The Super Noble Brothers (2007)
The Super Noble Brothers chronicles the ‘beautiful struggles’ of the uncompromising artists and entrepreneurs Davey, Tommy, and Andy Noble. Raised by independent art dealers and encouraged from the outset to pursue their artistic interests, they quickly garnered local celebrity in their home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin as talented musicians, painters and tasteful rare funk and soul DJ’s.

Andy Noble rose first to fame as the founding bassist of the nationally acclaimed Ska band, The Pacers and Tommy Noble followed suit with his much praised pop showmen, The Thousandaires. Throughout this time, the younger Davey Noble forged his own larger than life identity as the hard hustling painter of hundreds of colorful abstract erotic nudes. Diligent self-promoters, culturally opinionated and socially ubiquitous, the brothers often found themselves the subject of public admiration and fierce criticism. Bohemian elite, connoisseurs of funk and tireless purveyors of good times, they are the Super Noble Brothers.
