BRAKES

Event information

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH PRESENTS:

BRAKES (Brighton)
Brakes are landing at The Windmill to present you their other-worldy third album ‘Touchdown’ less than two weeks before its official release on Fat Cat Records, and needless to say, we’re pretty damn excited!

Having started life back in 2003 Eamon & Co. have toured relentlessly with everyone from Buck 65 to The Killers. 2005 saw the release of their critically acclaimed debut LP ‘Give Blood’ which spawned the 5-second epic ‘Cheney’ – a vehement blast at the inaptitude and culpability of the former Vice President. The song has now been hailed by the band as the catalyst behind Barack Obama’s election and the saviour of a Sarah Palin-induced nuclear winter. But while The Killers may have become The Killed in a post-apocalyptic America, Brakes defiantly claim that “even in a world destroyed by the total collapse of reason, we would've toured our music on acoustic guitars and a drum kit pushed in shopping trolleys”. It is this defiance that makes Brakes music, attitude and energy so endearingly charming in an age saturated with whingeing, egotistical indie-by-numbers bands!

THE TAILORS (London)
A joyful celebration of people who are flawed and broken and lost and blue, The Tailors draw from elements of folk, garage-rock and the soulful pop of 70's AM country radio whilst mixing the outsider weirdness of bands like the Silver Jews with the country-tinged powerpop of early Wilco. Their debut album 'Wakey Wakey' got great reviews across the board from Q magazine to Adam's local paper. The follow-up is expected sometime.

WOLFPACK OF ONE (London)
A one-man stadium hip-hop folk show which is both piss-take and homage from the front man of previous Windmill stars, The Winter Olympics. Riveting and utterly charming.
