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.”

Setting Youtube alight

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Following on from our previous post with reviews from the Music Show, it seems that people are really enjoying our sound and especially our performance of Rise at The Music Show. This week Hot Press published this fantastic article about us.

“Their performance at The Music Show was a revelation,” Hot Press editor Niall Stokes says. “They put in a storming appearance, but the bottom line is that they have the musicianship and they have the tunes. Their sound is really contemporary and of the moment, but there is a classic pop sensibility at play too. They’re the kind of band that could have a string of hits, very quickly.”

We’re delighted that people are enjoying our music, thanks again for all the support and we can’t wait to play a gig for you again soon!
