Beat Rhythm Fashion CD now available!
The long awaited disc of finely crafted songs from this much respected and greatly sought after Wellington band. Brothers Dan and Nino Birch made sweepingly beautiful and thought provoking intelligent music. Part of the Wellington terrace scene that gave us the four stars compilation BRF grew past their edgy post punk beginnings to create open melodic soundcapes like the classic "Turn of the Century".
This disc collects all three singles all lovingly restored and remastered, plus 9 tracks from the band's later live set to complete 'The album BRF would have made' if life had played out differently.We're very happy with what we've managed to do with the material we've had and appreciate your patience while we've sweated blood into making this the best we could for a band we love. We know you're going to love it too.
