Viva Leeds Magazine March issue: Twisted Wheel Smash It Up in Leeds

What to say about Twisted Wheel? For a relatively discrete bunch, you know that when a band has its own chant, things are going to be, well...impassioned. Needless to say when a large contingent of die hard fans arrive in previously purchase merchandise, shouts of 'Wheeel, Whheeell' are soon reverberating round the pint glasses now littering the floor of the Brudenell Social Club.
 Emerging from behind a stack of beer crates, Jonny Brown, Rick Lees and Adam Clarke arrive to what only can be described as the calmest moment of the evening.

Launching into what for many will have been their first taste of 'The Wheel' , "Lucy The Castle" has the crowd going absolutely wild. Pints are thrown enthusuastically and within just a few songs the trend for the evening is set: joining the band on stage. With Brown snarling along to 'Whats Your Name' and 'Bouncing Bomb' to raucous approval, it is apparent that there is a deep set affection for the three blokes on stage, who are by this point, soaking. So in all this madness, what better way to show your feelings for a band you care for by strolling on stage and kissing the lead singer? Indeed by this point it is no longer worth adding things to the list of frenzied goings on. Whilst signing off with 'Oh What Have You Done' it is apparent that something is going on here; something with the power to turn people into instinctive (albeit loyal) animals and a Saturday night into a riot!
