Brian Sands has been played on NTS shows including Geologist Presents: The O'Brien System, with The Day The Elves Could Fly first played on 28 September 2016.

In 1969 a young musician named Brian Kinchy (later Sands) founded the very first US David Bowie fan club (The International David Bowie Society) from his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Brian's enthusiasm for Bowie's music resulted in a personal phone call from Bowie in 1972 and was also largely instrumental in Cleveland being chosen as the starting point for the 1st US Ziggy Stardust Tour that September.

Brian's early Cleveland bands "Moses" and later "Milk", were the only area bands "off the wall" enough to be booked to open for then developing artists The Stooges (with Iggy Pop) and Alice Cooper. In 1979 Brian began a solo music career recording as Brian Sands. Brian spent much of the summer of 1978 with the late Vivian Stanshall of The Bonzo Dog Band and did the photography for his L.P. release titled "Sir Henry At Rawlinson End". Brian's two solo LP titles are "Reheated Chocolate Tangos" and "Fixation" (of which the opening track "Dialogue in Limbo" is a take on "The Man Who Sold The World").
