Twisted Wheel @ Inside Out, Darlington 23/04/2010


With only a few dates left of their headline tour remaining, Twisted Wheel decended upon the unsuspecting town of Darlington, for a late night slot at Inside Out (quite a unique venue in its own right, with living room furniture being the norm, and not forgetting the washing machine for good measure). It had been some time since the lads had played in the town, so were looking forward to giving their infectious rock n roll another airing.

Apparently, Darlington is very quiet on a Friday night - what a myth that turned out to be!

With the crowd buzzing with excitement, it was well past midnight when the lads took to the stage, with 'Shes A Weapon' starting the proceedings. 'Lucy The Castle' followed by 'Racket' bought the crowd to a frenzy, with the barrier falling over and the girls getting squashed at the front .

'Bad Candy', 'Let Them Have It All' and 'One Night on the Street' kept the pace up, with the crowd now trying to steal the barrier from the overworked bouncers, much to the amusement of the band!

'You Stole The Sun' caused a near riot, with a bent crowd barrier and monitors falling over and bass pedals tipping off the stage.

With 'Strife', 'Oh What Have You Done' and 'We Are Us' following in quick sucession, it was a fare bet that this gig was going down in history, as Darlington's most notorious night of rock n roll mayhem! With fans travelling from far and wide for this gig (London, Newcastle etc), this surely shows the unconditional love they have for this band, and why Twisted Wheel are destined for far greater things!

If you're reading this, and thinking ''flipping heck, what have I missed'', well what are you waiting for? There are only a few dates left of their headline tour and a few festival slots this summer, then the lads will be locked away in the studio working hard on their next release, so there won't be many more chances to catch them live this year.... Don't be a fool - get some new soul in your trainers,  have a ball!!!!
