Wille & the Bandits + Rainbreakers live at the Junction, Plymouth – 8th March 2019
In these days of rapidly closing
venues and live music’s dwindling importance in the cultural view, it is so
heartening to walk in to an unassuming venue like the Junction in Plymouth to
be greeted by a sell out crowd and a cross section of society all existing in
one place for the love of nothing but music. The first thing the huddled masses
are treated to is the laid back rock’n’roll with a hint of blues of Shrewsbury
outfit Rainbreakers. These four lads
have a fresh, clean sound that reminds me of listening to early Reef gigs and
they warm the crowd up perfectly for the main event.

This Plymouth show is something
of a home-coming for one of the UK’s hardest working bands so Wille & the Bandits take the stage
a warm and rowdy welcome greets them from this packed out venue. The trio set about
blending material from their new album ‘Paths’ in to a set full of tried and
tested material that has been wowing crowds around Europe for years. These
three insanely talented musicians know their way around a whole variety of
instruments which is obviously deeply impressive and pretty damn captivating. What
is most impressive and pleasing, however, is that at no point does the quest
for musical excellence get in the way of a groove or just generally rocking out
which they do…a lot. For Wille & the Bandits the tour continues, more
crowds will come and go but for those at the Junction tonight, this night will
live long in the memory…at least until they roll back in to town again.
