JJ72, Xavier Floyd Firebird at Southampton The Joiners, Wed 08 Jun

Review by Matthew Butler

For a band who promised so much with their debut, JJ72 didn’t half f*ck it all up with their overblown second album. A sell-out crowd tonight shows that people are willing to forgive this however, and it’s all smiles onstage tonight, save for the face-pulling earnestness of their angst ridden mini-anthems, of course.»

The Joiners

A nice pub venue with a wide but not too deep stage. Gets a mixture of brillant small gigs, to the bigger bands playing smaller dates.»
