   About Bruise
Wij zouden bezoekers uit Nederland willen welkom heten. Wij zijn zeer verheugd om op Appelpop 2009, naast de andere geweldige bands met inbegrip van legenden Golden Earring, te spelen! Wij kunnen niet wachten om in Tiel te spelen en wij verheugen ons op u daar te zien!! -----------"I'M A FAN.... A GLAD FAN TOO, AS YOUR SONGS HERE ARE JUST LOVELY." – NICK HEYWARD------------“BEAUTIFUL” – TOM ROBINSON-----------------“ASTONISHINGLY GOOD” - DANELLE MILLEA, YORKSHIRE EVENING POST-------------“THE BEST DRUMMER AND THE BEST FRONT WOMAN WE’VE EVER HAD ON THIS STAGE” – FIONA, THE RUNNING HORSE, NOTTINGHAM----------------"SIMPLE, RASPING AND GLORIOUS” – GREAT INDIE----------------“THE HOTTEST NEW BAND ON THE UK FESTIVAL SCENE.” – REALFESTIVALMUSIC.COM---------------"I'M LIKE THE SOUND OF HER VOICE AND THE COMBINATION OF FOLK ORIGINS AND INDIE-ROCK. AM I HEARING A TOUCH OF THE BETH ORTONS?" - DAVID SINCLAIR, THE TIMES----------------------BEN VORIG JAAR NAAR ENGELAND GEGAAN ALLEEN OM HEN TE ZIEN-JAAP---------------- Bruise met in Jim’s mostly derelict home in the East End of London, a little bit further east of the fashionable east end. That says more than it might, Bruise are just that bit further east of fashion, Bruise exist where inspiration starts. With two very separate ideas of what was music Isobel and Jim’s taste collided to form progressive folk like it had never been heard before. From a background of folk clubs and festivals, unacompanied singing and opened tuned guitars, Isobel had a catalogue of melodic and lyrically intense songs, Jim brought production sensibilities from early Genesis and pop genius not seen since Cindy Lauper. Their first album was much loved, critically acclaimed by The Times, The Wire and played on BBC6 Music. It opened a door to venues all over the world, from Europe to the US, their live shows gathered a momentum that left audiences slack jawed in amazement. This strong recorded presence and growing reputation as live performers won them repeat appearances at Glastonbury, support slots for cult space-rockers Hawkwind, play on US college radio, positive review after positive review and many delights on their way there. Bruise consists of Isobel Morris and Jim Kimberley, they perform as an acoustic duo, an electric two piece, then with the addition of Bob Kelly on bass they make a three piece. In any guise this band moves people, they move their feet and sometimes they’re moved to tears. Their self assured second album ‘Nobody Else’, underpins the creative impact that this band have got to make. Listen, it’s emo for adults, it’s not ‘pop’ it’s ‘bang’ and though you can’t see the future you can probably hear it…   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Not THE man - just a man but thank you all the same.

I thought the festi was hilarious. Great to see such amazing incompetance shown by so many people simultaneously. Formation incompetance, is my new phrase for such woeful organisations.

Luckily, the punters at least knew how to enjoy themselves
Hurrah for punters! WOOHOO

And you guys were champion too

Love and hoo-har

Many thanks, young groovers! Rose and I got a bit silly as you might expect. This morning we paid for our sins as some workmen were dismantling the apartment. Retiring to a greasy spoon we load our silly faces with unhealthiness and now, refortified, and it being Friday we are ready for Round 2.

Hope you're keeping England sweet and fragrant for me.

I guess it is. Mutz has seemingly loads of Danno guitars. Maybe you should get together. Spent the day fighting with Wix to change MySpace page. God, I feel awful now and have pretty much decided not to wix itanyway. See you soon.
