The Brilliant Things – Bar Ritz, Castlebar
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Words: Gareth O’Malley
“Things got off to a bit of a shaky start, it has to be said, though through no fault of the aplty named The Brilliant Things, who record as a two piece. Having already impressed when I caught them supporting The Blizzards back in April, even myriad technical problems couldn’t put them off. Lead vocalist Marie Junior was in fine form. So too was the touring drummer, whose performance on set- closer and recent single “Rise” was nothing short of spectacular. With an album (”Stronger Than Romeo”) due early next year, there seem to be big things ahead for the group.”

The Music Show – Reviews
Sunday, October 11th, 2009
The gig in the RDS was a huge success! It’s a week later and we’re still buzzing with excitement! We want to thank everyone who came along, supported us and danced their hearts out! The reviews so far have been great, and we thought you might like to see a few:
From Hotpress magazine:
“The Brilliant Things played to a thronged arena and went down a storm, with Marie Junior giving it loads upfront and co-conspirator Greg French more than looking the part in eyeliner and natty threads. If the ecstatic crowd reaction is anything to go by, electro pop is back in Ireland, especially when it’s delivered with this kind of energy and musical smarts! The Brilliant Things are looking like the real thing!”
The Irish culture website, culch.ie, has two reviews, one by Eoin and one by Darragh.
… the band took to the stage with as much energy as I have ever seen them (or any other band, for that matter), display, blasting through their twenty minute set.
Since first coming across them opening the Oxegen Festival on the Main Stage with the Artane Band this summer, their music has really struck a chord. Their upbeat tunes are a perfect mix of sweet well-pitched vocals from Marie Jr. and just-so lyrics from Greg French.
