Twisted Wheel are a 3 piece indie band from Manchester. I kinda knew what was coming from this gig, I've seen em twice before and knew what the crowd was like. To my surprise, it was on the Steel Stage at The Leadmill. Tiny stage, no barrier. Nice.
So yeah we got there half way through the first support band, not much to say about them, dunno who they were and they didn't sound that great to be honest.
Second support band i heard from the bar area, they sounded half decent enough. Local band, no idea of their name. Met em in Take Away after, seemed like dicks to be honest.
The crowd was a mixed one, ages young to old, indie to mod to full on football hooligans. One guy seemed to think he was actually taken out of the film 'The Firm'. I even bumped into a few people from Goole there. Always a nice surprise at gigs. The crowd bounced around enough to keep the energy going, seemed pretty tame compared to some recent gigs I've been to if I'm honest. At least they weren't moshing...
Anyway so yeah Twisted Wheel came on stage to a light cheer. Gave a good 45 min set, no encore. They played the 'big' hitters including 'You Stole The Sun' and 'We Are Us'. YSTS was my song of the gig, mainly because it was what got me liking Twisted Wheel, and the crowd seemed to mainly be of the same thinking. 'You stole! You Stole! You Stole THE SUN!' Rang through the room as the crowd joined in in the chanting.
Short but sweet set, almost felt like a pre warm up for a night out. Best time I've seen em live if I'm honest (most likely because the other 2 times were at festivals), this is only a short entry purely due to time and the fact I feel pretty ill. Also, not that much else to say.
Owl City next... That will be.... well interesting.
Peace
