Brillig is Wild for the Hearses! (April 2011)
At last Brillig can announce that
(1) we have a brand new track available "The Hearse Song", and
(2) it's being used as the "roll out" music for Adelaide Roller Derby team "The Wild Hearses" during their bout on this Sunday 10 April! That's right, as the brightly coloured purple & orange team enters the arena ready for battle, you'll be hearing "The Hearse Song" over the loudspeakers in the Wayville Showground Arena.
We think that's frickin' COOL.
(3) It recently debuted at #1 on Three D Radio (15 April 2011)!!
"The Hearse Song" has its basis in a Traditional American folk lyric which to this day is recited by children across the United States on Halloween.

You can Buy / Listen to the track on Bandcamp >>
You can also Listen on YouTube >>

NEW REVIEW (January 2011)
LIVE PERFORMANCE at The Front, Canberra (ACT) on 11 January 2011
"Hailing from South Australia by way of the steppes of Eastern Europe and the saloons of the old west, Brillig have been compared to everyone from Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen to The Cure and Nick Cave. These powerful influences were certainly there for anybody who cared to pick them out, but it is Brillig’s own unique and unaffected sound that has garnered them so many fans around the world. It was that inimitable style that kept The Front spellbound last Tuesday night."
