LONELY THE BRAVE: Lead singer, Dave (or Dave Brave as I refer to him; see what I did
there?) could epitomise the modern front-man, for want of a better phrase.
A tall, intriguing figure centre stage, he seems slightly uncomfortable
in front of his audience, almost hiding behind his cap, arms tight around
himself. Someone said to me afterwards that he needs to have more of
a stage presence. Ive got to say that I completely disagree. Metamorphosed
from the ashes of Cambridge band, Charlie Moore 4 (yeah, you liked them,
right?), here are four In fact, compelling is possibly the best word to describe them. Not
to mention that DB has one of the most effortlessly powerful voices
I have ever heard (if not a wee bit sexy: ladies, take note), they are
also Cambridges answer to Pearl Jam, championing the progressive
aspects of purely good rock music, and it doesnt get much more
mighty a force than that. As the light show tonight creates a brooding
atmosphere, its a big old room but their impressive sound fills
it, the spiky ball of energy playing guitar drawing your attention one
minute, complemented by the laidback bass and massive drum sound, and
those assembled are left positively reeling and picking their jaws Anna C www.myspace.com/lonelythebrave
