// FEATURED GIGS. Words by Stephanie Stevens Wade & Zoe Whitfield

// Formed in 2006, Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor are Slow Club, dishing up a mish-mash of folk, country and indie-pop sounds. The Sheffield folk-pop duo are notable for their use of unusual objects as percussion instruments tapping out rhythms on spoons, glass bottles and even chairs. Their debut album ‘Yeah So’ is out now, delivering iTunes ‘Single Of The Week’ in the shape of ‘Because We’re Dead’, the tune bringing them to a wider and more appreciative audience. Supported by the equally as impressive and charming ‘First Aid Kit’, make sure not to miss the orientated sounds of Slow Club at the Joiners on Wednesday 16th September.

// MISERY SIGNALS

// Rolling into the Joiners as part of the Pandapolooza half dayer (an event curated by the clothing company ‘Pandycane’ www.pandycane.com) are Twin Atlantic, who headline the event on Saturday 26th September, alongside Waiting For Sirens, Burn The Fleet and loads more great local acts. Picked up by Red Bull Records in March of this year, the Glaswegian rockers release their debut mini-album ‘Vivarium’ a week prior to their headlining slot. This lot can definitely rock as hard as the likes of Biffy and co, and have definitely got the catchy hooks and big riffs to go with it. Expect to hear previous single ‘Lightspeed’ amongst countless others anthems in waiting.

16/09 // Following a summer of European dates, Misery Signals bring their ‘Weight of the World’ tour to the UK this autumn with a headline show at the Joiners kicking off proceedings. Playing on Sunday 20th September, the Wisconsin band bring with them their most recent line up, featuring vocalist Karl Schubach, who answered the bands call for a singer via a MySpace post (!) whilst playing tracks from their latest album, ‘Controller’. You don’t have to be as dedicated as some of their fans (their MySpace profile features a whole three pages of fans tattoos), but any fan of progressive metal can do no wrong by checking out these guys.

26/09

// TWIN ATLANTIC

// Liverpool’s electronica indie-pop four piece Wave Machines consist of clever, unconventional lyrics mixed with shimmering synths, falsetto vocals and disco bass. Reviewed favourably by NME their single ‘I go I go I go’ was also made an iTunes ‘Single of the Week’. Those eagle eyed of you may well remember their catchy choruses and dance inducing rhythms from their gig at Unit back in Oct 2008 (they were the first live band to ever play there!). Their debut album ‘Wave if You’re Really There’ is out now, which may well be the undiscovered soundtrack to your summer.

Currently on tour, the guys will be performing at the Joiners on Tuesday 29th September.

// LOCAL ONES TO WATCH... // WTFEST

Words by Jess Macdonald

// JAZICA

Words by Sarah Brogden // Recent finalists for Virgins famous ‘Road To V’ competition (where the winners get to open V Festival amongst other prizes), these inspiring locals will generate their soulful electronica based pop on their home ground this month. Since their formation from Solent Uni almost four years ago, these guys are their own writers, recorders and producers who are rapidly becoming more and more acknowledged on a national scale. They’ve previously been featured on BBC Radio 2 with Steve Lemaq and also on BBC 6 with Tom Robinson, as well as supporting established acts such as Fight Like Apes, Esser and The Spinto Band. Their wide varieties of musical influences are noticeably reflected in their work, with a selection of their inspirations being Massive Attack, Bloc Party and Bjork. Their flavour of electronica indie pop is accentuated by the unique, smooth vocals from singer Frankie Murdoch, which are supported well by edgy electro vibes and powerful synths. Speaking about their return, guitarist Chris is keen to hit the stage once again: “We love coming to the Joiners. You are always guaranteed good sound. They have also been really supportive with our Road To V Campaign. It’s great there and there’s always a full line up of the best local bands.” Catch Jazica supporting Plastic Toys on Tuesday 15th September at one of the always popular Max Records showcases.

// A Celebration of Punk Rock & DIY Culture in Southampton! WTFEST is one of the most exciting things to happen to the Southampton punk rock scene in years and The Joiners are really looking forward to being a part of it. It’ll be running at various locations around Southampton, with secret free shows in skate stores and secret house shows alongside a bunch of amazing gigs at The Joiners.

Kicking things off on Wednesday 2nd September will be Toronto four piece The Flatliners. The punk rock group (with large elements of ska/reggae) are intending to throw lyrics and instrumentals into the crowds, which will keep even the fussiest of music tastes entertained and create a night of rock you’ll find hard to forget. The show will also feature support from OK Pilot, Mike TV and Mash Attack.

Onto Friday 4th September, and its Polar Bear Club who’ll be headlining an epic line-up featuring Broadway Calls (fellow countrymen), The Don Ramos Players, Burn The Fleet, Above Them, Calvinball and Medison.

The boys have a unique style of hardcore guitar riffs and indie style vocals which has gained them many plaudits. This night promises to be one of the best of the festival!

Finally, on Sunday 6th September, arguably one of the biggest acts of the festival A Wilhelm Scream will be ending the week Massachusetts rock style. They’ll be here to create havoc in the pit and we can’t wait to see it! With Support from Drawings, You Me & The Atom Bomb and Chillerton this show will be a perfect way to end what promises to be an amazing festival!

Tickets for all Joiners shows are available direct from www.joinerslive.co.uk (Dual tickets for both the Polar Bear Club & A Wilhelm Scream gigs are also available, saving you £4)

// LIVE REVIEWS: // BURY TOMORROW - VIDEO SHOOT. Words by Hannah Mahony.

// Any self respecting metal fan within the vicinity of Southampton will have heard of local band Bury Tomorrow, back in early August we snuck into Unit nightclub to see the filming of the video for their brand new song ‘You and I’. This was the 2nd time that Bury Tomorrow and Solent University students have collaborated to create a music video (Solent students also filmed the video for last single ‘Her Bones In The Sand’).

The concept of the video? .... Carnage.

The actuality when filming? .... Brutality.

Imagine 200 Bury Tomorrow fans going crazy whilst the boys are on stage rocking out the only way they know how. The turnout of fans was so large that director Steve Hogg had to split the crowd in two and alternate during takes. It took two days film the entire video, the first day focussing on the manic crowd, the second catching close ups of the band.

If the pictures are anything to go by then the video is going to look just as amazingly crazy as the guys had hoped, we can’t wait to see the final cut! (‘You and I’ will be released mid September, with debut album ‘Portraits’ following.

// frYars Words by Jess Macdonald.

// Visit the ‘We Are Rockstars’ club night on Saturday 19th September and be prepared to be transported into the mysterious and eccentric musical world of Ben Garrett, aka Fryars. From the mellow electronica of ‘Olive Eyes’ to the merry beats and contrasting lyrics of ‘The Ides’, Garrett will be showcasing his debut LP ‘Dark Young Hearts’ for us all to hear. The album has taken nearly 3 years to come to fruition (after a debut EP which had the music industry buzzing) and is rumoured to feature a special guest appearance from Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan.

Usually a solo artist, the Fryars live show is a different beast with Chris Hutchings on Drums, Bassist Max Taylor and Sana Khan on the piano. With more hooks than aisle 23 at B&Q, we guarantee an unconventional yet exciting night when Fryars visits Unit. It surely won’t be long before he starts to move his way further up the music ladder, check out album samplers at: www.myspace.com/fryars
