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!
