<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#8220;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&#8217;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 &#8220;Rise&#8221; was nothing short of spectacular.  With an album (&#8220;Stronger Than Romeo&#8221;) due early next year, there seem to be big things ahead for the group.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following on from our <a title="previous post" href="http://www.thebrilliantthings.com/the-music-show-reviews/" target="_blank">previous post</a> with reviews from the Music Show, it seems that people are really enjoying our sound and especially our performance of <a title="Rise" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA4xRGylA8w" target="_blank">Rise</a> at The Music Show. This week Hot Press published <a title="this fantastic article" href="http://www.hotpress.com/news/5908901.html" target="_blank">this fantastic article </a>about us.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Their performance at The Music Show was a revelation,&#8221; Hot Press editor Niall Stokes says. &#8220;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&#8217;re the kind of band that could have a string of hits, very quickly.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We&#8217;re delighted that people are enjoying our music, thanks again for all the support and we can&#8217;t wait to play a gig for you again soon!</p>
