Review: Bury Tomorrow – Portraits

Southampton’s Bury Tomorrow are HUGE! In every sense of the word, possibly the city’s biggest band right now, they sound HUGE, they have a huge following and they are continuing to make huge waves on the UK metal scene. The biggest question though is are they any good or are they just another tired metal [...]

Not So Surprising Doherty

Pete Doherty’s surprise gig at The Joiners in Southampton tonight, turned into a not so surprising no show from the ex Libertines front man.  A ’serious reason’ was the only explanation Pat, the promoter, could give the bemused crowd, which leaves fans baffled as to what has happened, as no news has emerged from any other source. [...]

Review: The Boxer Rebellion, The Molotovs + Broken Links

We arrive late for my first writing assignment. As someone more used to photographing gigs than writing about them, I feel naked without my camera. The first support act are Broken Links; they’re energetically thrashing their way through their final song as we come through the door. The band creates a powerful and engaging sound, [...]

Review: Broken links @ The Joiners

Broken links @ The Joiners.
 
This is Broken Links biggest show to date.  Headlining at The Joiners to an almost packed crowd of devoted fans and friends, they’ve even brought in a fantastic lighting rig especially for the occasion.  However, whilst a good light show certainly adds to the occasion, they’ll never make a rubbish band [...]

Flamboyant Bella, Fresh Legs, Short of 10p+  Echo Chamber @ Southampton Joiners 23/08/2009
There was a very young crowd at the Joiners for Flamboyant Bella. VERY young. When I walked in, the average age shot up to around 20, and I’m sadly way older than that. I was a bit worried I’d be kicked out for [...]

Review: Birdpen, Hijera + Science of 8 Limbs

Review: Birdpen, Hijera + Science of 8 Limbs @ The Joiners  (Birdpen Album Launch)
As I walked to The Joiners I wondered if this was the first time I had actually arrived in daylight?! Probably not, but it still seemed weird that at 8pm St Mary’s Street was yet to be anywhere Jack The Ripper would [...]

The Joiners Arms – The greatest small music venue south of London!

The Joiners Arms
“Every time we’ve played The Joiners it’s been a special event. Some of the best gigs and moments of my life have been on that stage”, explains Gerry Del-Guercio, front-man of SixNationState. The Joiners Arms is situated just a few minutes away from the centre of Southampton, in downtrodden St.Mary’s. The area [...]
