Chris Broach aka. Christopher Broach (b. Christopher Robert Broach September 5 1976 in Madison, WI) was one of the guitarists/vocalists in the 90's emo band Braid. Broach became known as the "Yeah" guy because he was often yelling or shouting "Yeah!" during Braid's songs. In August of 1994, just before starting his freshman year at The University of Illinois, Broach went to see Braid play a show at The Red Herring, in Urbana, Illinois... After the show, he was introduced to Bob Nanna through a mutual friend named Clay Stelzer. When Nanna remarked that they were looking for a singer, Stelzer mentioned that Broach was a singer and a guitar player... light bulbs went off in their heads, Broach was introduced to Roy Ewing, the drummer of Braid, and spoke to him at length about influences and the like. By the end of the show, Ewing was walking around introducing Broach to friends as 'the newest member of the band,' much to the surprise of Broach ... a couple of tryouts later, and a line up change (Broach replaced Pete Havranek on guitar, as well) - and Broach was a member of Braid, recording his guitar parts on the first 7-inch the band ever released a week later...

Chris Broach spielte zudem Gitarre für Life At Sea auf dem Album “Is there a signal coming through?” und wurde Frontman der Band L'Spaerow. Diese veröffentlichte auch ein Album auf dem von Chris Broach im Jahr 2002 gegründeten Label Lucid Records.
