This was a band that I really dug in my formative years as a junior rocker. Tunes like 'Naked', 'Mellow', 'Choose To Live' - they were Summer anthems for us. And not just one Summer.
Long years, a really big affro and several dodgy tattoos later, I was stoked to hear they were getting back together for a reunion tour. Saw them play at Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday night, and they were as good as I always remember them, as was the crowd - one slightly merry guy was walking around trying to Hi-5 the entire audience. No mean feat, but it says all you need to know about the feel good factor that runs through Reef and their followers.
Much respect, always.
