They were neither angry, nor brothers. They were, however, a Canadian supergroup of musicians paying homage to the British Invasion.

Initially created as an acoustic trio to perform at Blues On Belair in Yorkville at the end of the '90s called, cheekily, The Greg Godovitz Orchestra & Chorus, veteran musician Greg Godovitz (Fludd, Goddo, Carpet Frogs) teamed up with old friend and stalwart music personality Bob Segarini (Family Tree, Wackers, The Dudes, Cats & Dogs) with a rotating cast of keyboardists including Ron Christian. With the addition of permanent keyboardist/vocalist Brad "Mr. Anger" Lovatt, the group changed its name to The Anger Brothers.

A stint on AM640 Mojo Radio gave the musicians a chance to perform cover tunes, do skits and regale listeners with a Smothers' Brothers-styled variety show.

As their popularity grew and their live performances expanded to special events, trade shows and other club gigs, they added a full rhythm section and the group became the featured regular entertainment on John Derringer's Q107 Morning radio show  in Toronto.

In 2002 Greg Godovitz was in the midst of working on solo material but these songs eventually became the basis of Goddo's 'Kings of the Stoned Age' album and The Anger Brothers' 2003 self-titled debut album.

Sadly, the band would split up following their CD release party in November 2003.

Godovitz would continue on with solo performances and his band Goddo alongside Doug Inglis; Segarini returned to a reformed version of an earlier act called Cats & Dogs as well as resurrecting his original 1970's solo outfit The Segarini Band.
