Following the stunning show at Guildford G-Live a couple of weeks ago, I'm back for my second dose of The Stranglers and Ruts DC this time at The Reading Hexagon. Tonight probably just edged Guildford, maybe it was because I was downstairs this time round and could appreciate the highly charged atmosphere even more. Anyway, the crowd were right behind special guests Ruts DC from the off and the band responded by treating us to a blistering set. In The Stranglers case, the set-list was tweaked for the better to include "Tank" and "Grip" and these helped to crank up the excitement levels to breaking point.

In the meantime, here's some photos from the Reading Hexagon show.
