Twisted Wheel gig review Roundhouse, Camden (iTunes Festival supporting Kasabian) by Jane

Its been a busy few days in the Twisted Wheel camp - no sleep for 48 hours - due to promotional filming in Germany for Mini (BMW) and many many interviews......

Photobucket The doors opened at 6pm, however, no entry to the Main Space until 7pm. So the time was spent chatting and meeting up with old & new friends (shout outs at the end of this post..x) The Roundhouse is a fantastic venue, and it is literally, round, making the sound fantastic.

Due to filming, and the radio show, Twisted Wheel took to the stage, sharpe at 8pm as billed, storming into 'Lucy The Castle' which got the crowd going. Twisted Wheel set list: 'Lucy The Castle' 'Bad Candy' 'Shes A Weapon' 'One Night On The Street' 'Strife' 'Turn Around' 'You Stole The Sun' 'Oh What Have You Done' 'We Are Us' Photobucket Full credit must be given to the lads, as absolutely no one could guess that they were running on empty, with their 48 hours with no sleep. Twisted Wheel are unstoppable, with their energy and drive. Even a technical fault with the guitar sound couldnt dampen their enthusiasum, as we got to see a slightly amended version of 'Strife' with Jonny clapping along to us singing the words, and Adam giving us a brilliant drum solo. With the fault fixed, it was time for the totally brilliant 'Turn Around' which is fast becoming the high light of the set, with the fantastic guitar solo stealing the show and the Kasabian fans really showed their appreciation by giving it a huge reception. Photobucket All too soon, we were hearing the closing chords of 'We Are Us' (extended version) signalling the end to another fantastic Twisted Wheel gig. Once again, the lads showed us how its done and wowed the audience, well and truely.

ok... as promised, the 'shout outs'.. firstly to Glenn (and Ant) from Sussex who I ommited to mention in the Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms post way back on the Headline Tour in May.. Steph (and Daniel) who I had met previously at the London Kings College gig (again on the headline tour) and who I will be keeping company with over at the Milan Festival in August... Rachel and Helen from Bristol.. Adam (Babyshamble) who was also suffering from lack of sleep... Mark, Jenny, Michelle, Danny, Jay, Paul... Luv you all..xx
