Reverend & The Makers, Koko 8.7.09
The rev is an angry man two songs into his set, swearing at the side mixing desk to turn up his mike. Not that there are any problems with the sound in the audience. Opening up with the horn based Silence Is Talking from the forthcoming album the set was a good 50/50 mix between new and old, the best old one being Heavyweight Champion Of The World. The Rev is clearly punching above his weight being engaged to the lovely Laura Manuel on keys and percussion. Out of the new stuff, Professor Pickles sounded the most instant in catchability. A good show as a prequel to their support at Wembley over the weekend.
