Possibly the best street busking group in the land. Based around the hyperactive ability of main singer song writer Aaron Watson, whose sharp clever lyrics match the fast paced musical accompaniment. FEMMES meet SKA meet an eclectic college era DON McGLASHAN. Great vocal harmonies, bass driven ditties and sampled comments through out. REVIEW
On a good night, Wellington quirk and quickness has more hubbub than a Real Groove giveaway, and Brouhaha are another reason to fill a coffee shop. Livelong provides all the jangly bits, humour, rambling drums and '60s keyboards a closet gazer could wish to enjoy with winter. The lyrics are all over the place - personal, social and political - with the Gary Larssen tribute a brutal highlight. Die to the variety of material (and songwriters; mostly Aaron Watson, though), the flow ebbs a little throughout, but the band�s inherent funky flippancy wins through. - Brent Cardy.
