ASCENDING stars TWISTED WHEEL (pictured left) are descending on Teesside on Thursday 19th November with a headline show at Stockton's Ku Bar.
The Oldham three-piece mine the same rich seam as some of the UK's greatest rock'n'roll bands such as The Clash, The Who and The Jam and are armed with a lyrical intensity to match Mark E Smith at his most pointed.
In 12 short months they've gone from nothing to selling out 500 capacity shows in their home town, 300,000 views of their My Space site, and a record deal with Columbia Records.
With songs that tell tales of unhinged northern street life, dripping with sardonic humour and reckless desperation, Twisted Wheel are taking their incendiary, compulsive, no holds barred live set on another national tour this month and next.
Although half of their gigs will be on shows supporting the Modfather Paul Weller, they will also do a whole host of rare headline shows.
We say rare because the band have been picked by nearly all of indie's great and good for support.
In June the band were hand-picked by Noel Gallagher to support the now defunct Oasis during their British shows that month. Other notable support slots have come with ace indie bands The Rascals and The Courteeners, Kasabian, Reverend And The Makers, The View, The Enemy, Friendly Fires and Secret Machines.
This year's busy schedule comes on the back of triumphant festival appearances at Dot to Dot, The Great Escape, Kendall Calling, Radio 1's Big Weekend, T-In The Park, Oxegen and Reading/Leeds Festival (even experiencing a stage invasion at the latter) last year.
They're rolling into the Ku Bar on Thursday 19th November when they will be supported by the Teesside delights of PRETTY HICKEYS and THE MASTER COLONY.
TWISTED WHEEL, PRETTY HICKEYS, THE MASTER COLONY: Ku Bar, Stockton Thursday. 19th November - Entry: pounds 6
