Ill bravados playing Rob Roy Thurs May 5th, along w/ the Golden Circles (bris), Sly Hats & Ned Collette
Ill bravados are on the
SBS Whatever Sessions 2, a double Digi CD Compilation, featuring excellent outfits the like of
The Emergency & Barrage. Released in Nov 2004 by
FeralMedia.
Ill bravados are also part of the Singles Club Split 7 inch Collective CD put out by the good folk
at Low Transit Industries.
And coming soon! Locked in a battle of wits to the death,
the Crayon Fields vs. Ill Bravados: A strictly limited, one run only Split 7"... sometime in 2005.
Ill bravados start well, then finish last. Mean well, then say the wrong thing.
Their songs are thin, unfinished, under-produced and were written for all the wrong reasons. If they were to embody any animal - it would look not unlike this here scurrying mouse (see below).
In fact, Ill bravados are less than the sum of their parts, which can be illustrated in the formula:
Ill bravados use outdated software, four-track recorders & noisy tapes to make pop ditties that don't rock & roll as much as they lurch & lumber. It sometimes sounds a bit scratchy, like a bird chirping a chirp while making its home on a landfill. Unfortunately, therein lies nothing to write home about.
