Twisted Wheel's epic Halloween gig at the Doghouse, Dundee, 31/10/09

The next gig in Scotland - Dundee, and the sun shines brightly, a welcome respite from the previous two days of rain. However, this date falls on the effervescent event of Halloween making Twisted Wheel's appearance at the Doghouse all the more alluring!
With The Jam's 'Disguises' being played over the pa, there couldn't have been a more apt tune to play.
With the crowd pileing in, no one was in any doubt that the evening's event would go down in Twisted Wheel history as one of the more outrageous & adventurous gigs that they'd ever played, from Michael Jackson look-a-likes to the Spice Girls in the audience, it was plain to see this was going to go down a storm!
Did anyone recognise Kieren Webster as he introduced Twisted Wheel? ha ha I thought not....
Steaming straight into 'Lucy The Castle', the crowd went mad. Through out the set, there were stage invasions, much to the annoyance of the bouncers who got a bit heavy handed even when Steve O told them to lay off. Towards the end of the set, the bouncers made a permanent wall on the stage (especially poignant during 'Turnaround'), but it didnt really make any difference, the crowd still went mental.....
