England's Turin Brakes, a band already much loved by Australian audiences for their 2001 album "The Optimist" & the recently released follow-up "Ether Song", made there long awaited first visit to our shores as guests of the Falls Festival in late December, as well playing a string of club dates around Australia in early January.

With a sound that is at once melancholy and euphoric; nostalgic and visionary; grand and intensely personal, Turin Brakes have already received such plaudits as a Mercury Prize nomination, & nominations for Best New Band at both the Q Awards & The Brits. As NME once said of their live show "This is a band who inspire a passionate response. By the end, even those nattering at the bar seem converted. Go see them play. Give them the devotion they deserve."
