Arrived early to the Thekla as I knew it would fill up fast as only being a small venue and I like to be at the front because I am not very tall. Support band came on stage just a few minutes after entering the venue. I was told by a regular that it is student night so bands have to finish before 10pm. Both bands were very well received and they both played brilliantly, the sound was excellent. Just before the encore we had a leak in the roof that was dripping near to the drummer, He actually said it's raining in here, I was worried about all the electrics (wires etc..) but nobody seamed bothered about it. Soon after the band had finished security tried to usher us out but some of us wanted merchandise and talk to the bands, it seemed a bit rushed to me. But overall an excellent night.

Thoroughly enjoyable concert from a band I discovered via Planet Rock. The support band got the evening off to a good start to the extent I would go and see them again. Look forward to seeing Robert Jon and The Wreck again although I suspect it will be in a larger venue next time.

OMG! This band is incredible. Seen them twice this year and they rock! The whole band are brilliant but Henry James on lead guitar is just unbelievable! Love the band and love the Brook, terrific venue with a high stage and perfectly clear sound at just the right volume. A great night of quality music.

Knew Robert Jon & The Wreck were going to be good but the support act is always an unknown quantity. However, Caitlin Krysko & The Broadcast were superb. More Roots than Southern Rock but a great performance and one to watch.
