It was the perfect night. It was the end of a horrific three-day heat wave, and NJ band "The Break Lights" was doing an outdoor evening show in the cool breezes under the towering trees of Morristown Green. This was part of the last Thursday of the month "Meet Me In Morristown" arts events. And, at the end of the heat wave, this was just the right night for it.
I went there after work. The show began about 7pm when it was still daylight. As the evening progressed, the crowd increased. The Break Lights had the whole evening to themselves, and, other than a ten-minute break, played straight through. I caught most of the show; they were still going strong even when I had to cut out a few minutes early to catch my train.
What was unique about this show (other than being "The Big Relief" from the heat wave), was the number of debuts of new songs. While I heard the band play songs that I recognized from their web page, I kept hearing "And here's another new song that we haven't played for anybody ... " I can't remember any other show where there was so much new work being presented.
The Break Lights have music from a number of albums posted on their Bandcamp page. From their newest album, "The Bright Life", released in the Fall of 2017, here is "Why Don't You Call Me?", which is the lead track :::
The Brake Lights doesn't have any other shows lined up right now, but here is the link to their Facebook page where you can keep an eye on them ::: The Brake Lights on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
