I read a great review of the new album by the Brav­ery , The Sun and the Moon, where the review­er claimed that the band were the Stone Tem­ple Pilots to The Killers’ Pearl Jam. How great is that — grunge bands-as-metaphors! And a metaphor that I can cer­tain­ly relate to (err, not that I’m the Wei­land to any­one’s Ved­der, but y’know, I appre­ci­ate the anal­o­gy). And yeah, the Brav­ery are one of that bunch of Nu-Wave-New-York bands that seem too fash­ion­able to be true, but unlike the Killers et al, they’re actu­al­ly real­ly good — less fash­ion mag­a­zine, more FASHION (bop bop bop) a la Bowie.
Ok before I get into glam sim­i­les and real­ly lose the plot, all I want­ed to point out was: The Brav­ery are play­ing in Welling­ton this week­end — Sat­ur­day night at San Fran Bath­house to be exact, with sup­port from local synth-core dar­lings Heat Like Me. Get your par­ty pants on and check them out, tick­ets are avail­able from Tick­et­mas­ter or on the door from 7:30pm Sat 14th.
A wee heads up for Fri­day night too — Liam Finn plays Bode­ga, fresh from a US tour with … Eddie Ved­der!
