Recorded live
at The Beanrunner
Cafe in Peekskill, NY; The Brighton Beat's first live album is now
available for digital download, with hard copies available at all live events.
It features some re-imagined Brighton Beat classics, and a cover of Fela
Kuti's "Dog Eat Dog." The amazing artwork was hand painted by
local Peekskill artist Andrew Barthelmes.

"Afro-beat
big band The Brighton Beat can
sound really quiet considering the number of people on stage. The five mellow
tracks on Live At The Bean Runner,
recorded in Peekskill, NY, are allowed to develop organically. Kicking off with
a cover of Fela Kuti's Dog Eat Dog they
slip into Giraffe, one of the
stand-out tracks from The Brighton
Beat LP, throwing quite a few hat tips to the Supertramp
classic Bloody Well Right.
Live At The Bean Runner is a
mellow album as a whole, flowing gently but picking up speed every now and then
when it looks that they have painted themselves into a corner. Jazz comes to
the rescue in Loose Cannon and
they end the album on a high note with great percussion and keyboards
interplay, a loud guitar solo and a good ol' sax battle during Big Top.
