the brilliantly simple. started out as a one-man experiment of loop pedals and sample pads. Through obvious restrictions and the longing for that full-band essence, a four-friend collective formed what it is today – an abrasive indie rock outfit from in and around the Surrey Hills. Without claiming to be innovative, we endeavour to deliver a pleasing concoction of big sounds with occasional climax, tranquil breakdowns and meaningful lyrics. We wholly hope you enjoy it.x


Nothing finer by the brilliantly simple

Until October...

Hello everyone,

Some news.

We can sadly reveal that our moog mastermind, Chris, is officially no longer a part of The Brilliantly Simple. He is understandably busy with Los and Peak Recordings, which you should both support and love. On behalf of the four of us, I'd like to thank Chris and his index finger for all the hard moog playing they've done, and we look forward to recording with him imminently.

So we've just played a few shows with some lovely bands (Stagecoach, Hold Your Horse Is, Crooked Mountain, Crooked Sea, Forest and The Fire, The Brothers Streep) before a summer break of writing. The plan is to write some new tunes so we're set for the studio towards the end of September.

October is the month for playing some shows and trying out the new material. So it would be cool to see you at a gig or two.

Until then, thank you for reading this and checking us out. We've still got some Blackboard CD's left, all be it only a few. You can pick one up for £3 at a show.

Love

Tris, Si, Dan and Greg. x

P.S. Come down to the Lincoln Arms on Friday 13th August for Tris and Alf's birthday show. It's gonna be bangin'.
