Sunbrain is the reason Ghostmeat Records exist. The label was created by guitarist Russ Hallauer to release 7" records by the band. Sunbrain was formed in 1990 in Clemson, SC. In 1993, their debut album, Perfection Lies, was released on New York's Grass Records. The band went on to release two other albums, Good Side and Live, on Grass. Sunbrain's fourth and final album, Liquid, was released on Ghostmeat in 1996. Sunbrain disbanded later that year.

Sunbrain singer/guitarist David Dondero has continued as a solo artist. He has three releases on Ghostmeat- ...The Pity Party in 1999, Spider West Myshkin And A City Bus in 2000 and the Spider West Myshkin And A City Bus Reissue+2 CD in 2003. Other releases by Dondero, including Shooting At The Sun With A Water Gun and The Transient, can be found on San Francisco's Future Farmer Records.

Sunbrain guitarist Russ Hallauer went on to form Athens, GA's Lures with Jason Slatton (Randall Bramblett Band), Clay Leverett (Drip, Now It's Overhead, Lona, The Chasers) and Larry Tenner (Magneto). The quartet's debut album When I Was Broken was released in 1999 on New York's Ten 23 Records. Their second album Dolores was released on Ghostmeat in 2001.
