Brakes – Cambridge Junction 06/02/09 [Photos]

Words: Rich Hughes | Photographs: Rich Thane
On a cold, icy, and transport infringing evening, the two Rich’s at TLOBF Towers convened for their first 2009 meet up. Replenished by a wonderful curry and accompanying Cobra Beers, they felt, initially at least, out of place at the all-ages show at The Junction.
With no queue at the bar, we propped it up commenting on the yoof of today and their never changing like for all things EMO. Alas, by the time Brakes turned up to finish the night, the crowd had thinned. Where many an act might have grumbled, Brakes gave it even more, engaging the crowd and taking requests. Eamon was resplendent in his NASA spacesuit which, at times, dangerously caught the light and illuminated the Junction. Playing older material, plus tasters from their highly anticipated debut on Fat Cat records, those that stayed were treated to a live band at the very peak of their powers.
