The salient points

• Bright Light Bright Light is the popstar name of Rod Thomas.


• The name comes from Gremlins 2, wouldn't you know.


• Bright Light Bright Light, that is. Not Rod Thomas.


• The music is very much of the Great British Electropop Tradition, in the vein of Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Depeche Mode etc etc.


• His 2011 single 'Disco Moment' is literally amazing and does the whole 'tears on the dancefloor' thing very well indeed.


• Live shows have featured "silver foil hats, a lot of dry ice and a bare-chested male dancer doing the robot", which, while not exactly a stretch for an electropop live show, still sounds approximately 57 times better than enduring James Blake squelching his way through an hour-long underwater-dubstep borefest.


• Yes that is a beard you see in the photograph.


• His debut album 'Make Me Believe In Hope' is really quite good and if you haven't heard it then you're a fool only to yourself.


• For example.
