Stanley Brinks at The Jug of Ale, Moseley, Birmingham March 14th 2008
March 14, 2008
step forward the now Berlin-based Stanley Brinks. New single ‘Fox Trot’ is dark and broody, lurching forward like the pissed fall guy in a 1950s crime caper; Brinks’ lyrics are exquisite, slowly painting his story with effortless flamboyance (“My father was a doctor but he played the guitar/On the day that you are born you know who you are”). He states his intentions: “The only thing I learnt was what no-one said to me/You better live now and stop getting ready.” The results could prove intriguing.”
Stanley Brinks Tour and gig at The Jug of Ale, Moseley, Birmingham March 14th 2008
March 14, 2008

Stanley Brinks at The Jug of Ale, Moseley, Birmingham on march 14th 2008.
(aka Andre herman Dune) Tickets will be £7 on the door or £5 in advance. Doors 8pm.
Stanley Brinks is the new identity of André Herman Düne, original member of the “Herman Düne” trio. He also recorded and played shows in Europe, the UK and the US under various other names: Ben Dope, Ben Haschish, Klaus Bong, John Trawling, John Andreas, Lord Stanislas… Now based in Berlin, he’s mostly recording and playing as a solo act.
Review: “Having toured and recorded all over under different guises ranging from Ben Dope to Klaus Bong to John Andreas, this former member of the French anti-Folk Herman Dune trio has done it again: step forward the now Berlin-based Stanley Brinks. New single ‘Fox Trot’ is dark and broody, lurching forward like the pissed fall guy in a 1950s crime caper; Brinks’ lyrics are exquisite, slowly painting his story with effortless flamboyance (“My father was a doctor but he played the guitar/On the day that you are born you know who you are”). He states his intentions: “The only thing I learnt was what no-one said to me/You better live now and stop getting ready.” The results could prove intriguing.”
