The Brunettes - just what do the Americans make of them?Auckland popsters The Brunettes are currently touring the USA, supporting indie-darlings-of-the-moment The Shins.

Anyway, in my efforts to dig out some reviews for adding to the NoiZyland archives, I found heaps of blog reviews and comments on the band. I thought I'd dump the links here, as a reminder to myself to do it properly later, and also as a way for everyone to get a quick feel of just what the 'average' american makes of the seven-piece, instrument-swapping, mask-wearing onstage extravaganza that is The Brunettes.

UPDATE - 19 May. Added some more reviews, and here's some links to bass player James's tour diary over at the NZ Herald.
