Sideshows for Brand New

Thu 6th Dec, 2007 in Local News

As the rock scene reaches saturation point, bands are finding they have a lot to prove to stay in the game; and none have risen to the challenge quite like Brand New. Having formed in 2001, the Long Island four-piece has built a massive cult following based on notorious live shows, relentless touring and three jaw-dropping albums.

After nearly three years of self-imposed silence Brand New finally emerged in late 2006 with their hotly anticipated third album, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. The critical and commercial acclaim for the album’s vast sonic layers and dark indie-rock overtones was instantaneous. Alternative Press quickly labelled the band as the – œAmerican Radiohead’ and the album as “A quantum leap above not only Brand New’s prior work… but beyond anything that any band in this scene are currently creating”.

Australian fans were rewarded for their patience and persistence as Brand New performed a string of brilliant concerts up and down the East Coast. All shows sold out within a matter of days with thousands of fans left pondering what could have been. For those fans lucky enough to score tickets they were treated to one of the most electric and moving performances of 2007.

Recently announced on the massive Big Day Out lineup, Brand New will also be performing select one off shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
