Aussies are Awesome - Spotlight on Meijin Bruttomesso

One of our favorite rock nerds, Meijin Bruttomesso, has been a writer on the storm as of late, striking great review after great review with her passionate penchant for good music. Recently, she's rapped up SD's street scene, LA's detour and now the Cut Copy/Presets show in Pamona.
