Tue 27 Feb – Reuben, Sucioperro, Red Light Company

First time visitor to the Joiners, and whilst small it was a good atmosphere, and wasn't quite as cramped as I thought it was going to be. Sounded pretty good in there too! Was a touch warm though!

First off, Red Light Company were pretty good, I wasn't really expecting much but they had a good sound, sounded like something that wouldn't be out of place on Radio 1.

For me, Sucioperro were good but I didn't really get into it. Guess that wasn't really my thing? But they were still pretty good, and got the crowd going anyways.

Then, Reuben. The first song I ever heard by them was Scared of the Police years ago, and since then I only saw them support Billy Talent in the Southampton Guildhall, which was good but didn't get the attention they deserved. So it was awesome to see them in such a small place where everyone was fully appreciating the full power of the band.
They are obviously brilliant guys; Continually stopping and demanding more water for the crowd, thanking everyone for moshing, etc. and they played pretty flawlessly too. An excellent range of songs, from old to new, can't wait to hear more of the new stuff it sounded great, and the crowd responded very well considering it was new stuff.
They have so many great tunes I lost track of what did and what didn't get played, so didn't exactly miss some of my favourites that didn't, and thoroughly enjoyed some songs I didn't expect to hear.

I'd definitely see them again, a brilliant night.
