Dave is our Matchbox reviewer, a publicist, music journalist, published author and bass player from

a few bands, plays a few tunes and reviews music from all over the planet for various famous publications.

****HERE’s our short review……I guess we’ll take being mistaken for an English band a compliment!!
The Breakers - The Ballad Of Middle Management (review by Dave Chislett)
A chirpy poppy number, The Ballade Of Middle Management is off The Breakers album, "Songs For Young Executives".
Based around the long standing musical partnership of Doug Bykrit and Brian Zielie, this English band create
a mellow pop rock sound that is up tempo and uplifting. Understated and restrained, The Ballade showcases their
taste in all things pop and rock while not betraying too many of their immediate influences.
Yes thats right The Breakers own Joe Liedtke and his lovely wife Sara of Glass Doll
are moving to NY. We want to thank everyone who came out and Panama Reds for making this last
show with Joe a great night. Joe was a long time member of the band, a great friend and will
be missed. All good things do come to end though and a new beginning will be for all.
Sign up on the e-news list to get alerts on when we will be hitting the stage again with a new line up.
