   About Brief Candles
One more bio from one more band. One more description of a loud-as-hell indie rock band with a rhythm section built by the gods and guitars so graceful and melodic they make your ears cry. One more comparison to My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints, Doves, et al, though of course they don't compare - they merely lie in the shadow of those influences. Yet another band with a phenomenal rock show, the type that brings audiences to their knees in complete adoration. Another self-released debut album released in late 2003 receiving rave reviews including a Best Album of 2003 by an indiezine. Another band that relocated from their hometown of Peoria, IL to Milwaukee, WI for a variety of dubious reasons. A sophomore album released in 2006 on Latest Flame Records with more great reviews, more college radio airplay, and more tours of the west coast, the midwest, and the southwest. One more band that continues to record, tour, and rely on the help of fan and friend. One more band you probably haven't heard of, but should. One more band to listen to and accept or reject.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Perhaps we can reconnect this missed connection from Craigs List on the 26th:


Longhaired Redhedded bartender - m4w - 25 (Franks Power Plant)

I was their and you were working. You were kind of pouty and mean. You seemed out of it.Watching you bartend is like watching a bag of poop thats on fire. I know you probably get this a lot but you are kind of pretty. If I was 20 years older I would want to go out with you. Its funny because you aren't a very good bartender and you don't have any people skills but I didn't want to leave. I liked that you treated me as bad as you did all the people in the bar. It was funny because when I asked what beers you had on tap, you go..What kind do you want? I normaly go to bars where the bartenders are nice and good looking but I like coming in when your there. Keep a Pabst warm for me.

Hey Jen! Sean is impressed with Kevin's internship, he said you need commute if he was hired:) Faith is selling her condo in Kenosha....I may be giving away my house for cheap real soon, so save up. I applied for Froedtert, hopefully they call, I would want to move to Tosa, as you know I hate to drive! It was nice seeing you Fri.
, it does suck to work with me though, I am unlucky! Cheers!

Hey guys, thanks for your friendship!

Good sounds. Particularly "June" and "So Long." I hear the quality bits of Pinback in here with the shoegazery.

Love the bio too: "the kind that brings fans to their knees in complete adoration" haha

Cheers :)
