The Bravery

draconian - 4-8-2005 at 03:24 AM

Got their album this week, and I thought, okay, Ima Robot Lite--catchy, eighth-note synth driven songs, charismatic lead singer. Then I go see them last night at this oddball show at the student union (only 5 bucks, capacity maybe 150, lots of disinterested students milling around despite the fact that this band has been selling out large venues in most major cities) and one song they have sounds so similar to Scream.

Anyone know which I'm talking about?

Great show anyway, it was especially nice to be standing right in front of the rockabilly-with-eye-makeup bass player, who had a sweet vintage Rickenbacker.

Speaking of the student union, my sister is pretty sure she's going to be going to The Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota!! Is that where you are? Or are you at Minnesota State?

And no..I don't know which one you're talking about..I'm sure MichelleRene would though..:duh:

perhaps 'tyrant'? dont find any of them having much resemblance to scream really.. its the only one i can think of

They sound a bit like the Killers, but good though.

lots of rumors about the bravery going round through the mouths of frankfurt indie dj's. i'm sure they played a song in the batschkapp some weeks ago - can't remember how it sounded. maybe it's on again tonite..

Do you remember when they played it (beginning, middle, end)?

theyīve been in teen magazines here...scary. seen something onīem on TRACKS / ARTE and they kept calling them new wave which annoyed me a little. but they are playing Munich on the 20th of June and if i can get my filthy hands on the guest list íīm gonna check them out.

These guys are soo good live. I seen them at Weenie Roast 3 thumbs up.

7cut - 6-14-2005 at 02:26 AM

:no: nooooo..guest list wouldnīt work out. too many people. but i canīt see them for i already spent 25 euro on M.i.a. ....bad.


:Mark: - 6-14-2005 at 07:32 AM

Peace

so The Bravery played Munich yesterday and i didnīt go there for it would have been too expensive so i ended up on another show (of a band iīd actually seen before) which turned out the same entrance fee in the end ...aaaaaaah. so i could have gone to see the Bravery nonetheless. :rolleyes:
