   About Brief Awakening
..Book us here, or at briefawakening@yahoo.com. Brief Awakening is an all female freak-folk, psycho-pop, soul-voiced, trio featuring: piano, djembe, drums, acoustic guitar, and bass. In September 2008, Brief Awakening danced into the Boston music scene playing numerous clubs and venues such as The Midway and The Middle East Upstairs. With unique instrumentation and dual-lead female vocals rich with harmony; Brief Awakening's sound has been compared to Belle and Sebastian, Tori Amos and everything in between. Brief Awakening is a member of local indie label, Polk Records, and Boston based music collective, Activist Music for the People (A.M.P.). Lyrical subjects range from to poetically personal to the fight for equality and justice for all people. The music of Brief Awakening is diverse and evolving as they continue to weave new elements into their tapestry of sound. PRESS: Live review April 2009 issue of "the noise": www.thenoise-boston.com

Sweet- I am so coming to the Midway on Thursday. I'm really looking forward to seeing you ladies on stage. Also, I'm hoping after the show we can do a little toe-heel-up-side-together-side-bend-scoop-the-left action Paula Abdul style on the dance floor.

Wow the new recordings you ladies put up sound amazing. Recognition is truly enchanting. Is it strange that I sing along with these "new" songs? maybe just a little.

The Craic Festival 2009 has invited FairplayCollective to play at this years Festival. All members will be playing in the round. The show is at The Mercury Lounge, March 14th at 8pm. This is the last night of the festival and Foy Vance is also on the bill. What more can I say, a great night for music and film, with the odd star thrown in. Come show your support.
