"Emily Breeze comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher rolled in to one, her striking bequiffed persona rocks,swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Later on she plays songs of love and failure and the crowd goes silent.Then she cranks the neck of her guitar ,the bassist bows and the set shifts a gear into a swirling rock n roll climax. There was more sweat and energy in this rock n roll show than a hundred simpering indie boy bands". Artrocker reviewing Emily at peppermintpatti (Sept 07) "there's currently no one in Bristol playing with more sass or authority". Venue magazine Listen and marvel on www. myspace.com/emilybreeze
