“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.”
