BRAKES NEWS- GIGS AND RECORDING!!!

Hi There

It's been a while but Brakes are dusting off their sweaty gig shirts and getting back on the show pony. Summer is a temptress, and who can resist her nostalgic charms? Not us that's for sure. As soon as offers for summer shows started rolling in we thought "hmm, that sounds like a whole sack of fun in the sun".

So it gives me great pleasure to announce that Brakes will be playing a handful of club shows and festival dates over the coming months. Keep checking our ever expanding gig list for more details.

In the meantime this flurry of activity will be accompanied by the start of work on Brakes' third album. Although the finer administrative details of this process are yet to be realised, songs are written and we shall soon be retreating to a studio that i am building in Gloucestershire to immortalise these sure fire chart hits. To say it's early days could be viewed as an understatement right now but the crank is starting to grind and I'm glad to say we're getting our shit together after a bit of a rest.

That's all for now.

Thanks
Marc

Dear Brakes Gang...

Eamon played some shows in May and here's his latest Blog...

Dear Brakes Gang, Marc & I have been going through a bunch of home demos on my mac book thing, and picked out quite a few to continue working on. I'm going to polish them up, then all of us are going to get together sometime in May/June to record them as a band. First of all, though, I'm going to visit some select cities and try these new songs out live, to see how they go down. I'll have Little Lost David (Myspace) as support, which I am very pleased about, he sounds like he'll be massive.

This one-man-and-a-guitar touring thing is pretty lonely though, and I usually end up saying 'I'm never touring without Tom, Marc and Alex again.' But I have to try out these songs, so please come along and make me feel like it's worthwhile. There will be more Brakes tunes up at Myspace soon, I promise.

Good Times, Eamon
