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."
