?? ?? Reuben and the Dark, an indie folk-rock group from Calgary, played at a Blenders concert in Swift Current, Feb. 25. The band's performanc­e at the Lyric Theatre was part of their current tour to venues across Canada and the United States in support of the un/ love album, which was released in October 2019. Some band members have changed since then, but Reuben Bullock is still the band leader. He wrote in a Facebook post before the Swift Current concert that the previous Blenders show became a formative part of his early career.
