The brackets () are special commands in Bash command-line. They spawn a new shell when they are surrounding a command, or (credits to @pabouk) they signal a function definition. Neither is the intended case for you.

The bottom line is that brackets () have special meaning for the bash shell, so you need to escape brackets, prefixing them with a backslash, so that bash doesn't try to interpret them:

\( and \)
