The iPhone Guitar Solo @ Oxegen 2010

The Brilliant Things — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:41:11 +0000

This year we had the privilege of being the first ever band to perform on the new Vodafone stage at Oxegen, so we decided to do something a little special to celebrate.

We kick started the song with a phone call and at around the 3 minute mark you can see the first ever iPhone guitar solo performed on stage at a major European festival! We’ve also uploaded a video of just the iPhone solo, if you want to share it with friends:

Rocking Oxegen? There’s An App For That!

By now I hope you’ve all heard the exciting news that we’ll be opening the Vodafone stage at this year’s Oxegen festival. We thought that this gig deserved a little something special so we put our thinking caps on – opening act…. Vodafone stage…. Oxegen 2010…. and then it hit us:

We’re going to do the first ever song performed with iPhones, live on stage at a major European festival! We’re still working out the finer details (and convincing people we’re not completely insane!), but so far we’ve managed to hook up this awesome looking iPhone/Guitar!

If you’re at Oxegen, we’ll be on stage at 3pm on Friday, so come check it out! We’ll be uploading videos from the gig as soon as we can so be sure to sign up here and we’ll let you know when they’re available to watch.

The Brilliant Picks – Talulah Does The Hula

Here’s some new music that we’re loving these days. Talulah Does The Hula are a brand-new, Irish, indie-pop quintet. Greg has been doing some production work with them, but all of us in the band love their sound.

Here’s the latest video for their song “Don’t Panic.” Check it out and leave a comment letting us know what you think!

Finishing The Album

The Brilliant Things — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:28:05 +0000

So we have been in windmill Studios all week getting the album done, Very late nights or should I say early morning! Very unhealthy but it will all be worth it. Finished on Sunday and then hopefully after lots of mixing and mastering and all that stuff, you’ll all be able to hear it, at Last! xxxx
