Centrala, Birmingham


Brian lightning is the brain child of a life long relationship with music, magic and the stage. 


Baring comparisons to Foxygen, Warmduscher, Gorillaz, Alex Cameron  and other rock-leaning experimental projects. The act contains visually impossible magic tricks, matching outfits, multiple characters and synchronised dance.


The Brian lightning band are proud to present ‘The Life And Death Of Brian Lightning’ - two Friday night shows a week apart on the 10/17th May...


The ‘LIFE’ show will be themed as 70s glamour, where Brian/ the support bands/ venue and audience will be donned in the most vibrant discotheque decoration. 

This show will be a celebration of life and a promise that Brian and his band will indeed, live forever. Support from Sancho Panza / Astles / Ha Ha Hats. 


The ‘DEATH’ show will be themed as Brian’s Funeral and will be expected that everyone dresses respectfully according to the elegant/ black/ funereal theme. 

This show starts with a a concession walk through Digbeth to the venue then a few words from close friends, followed by supports slots from Dirty Hound / Skinned / Mass House and finally a tribute from the Brian Lightning band to their fallen comrade.
