Twisted Wheel showcase new songs @ Wimbledon Calling 18/07/2010

Its a baking hot Sunday in Wimbledon and theres excitement in the air. Fans have travelled from far and wide to see the lads play their TWO eagerly awaited sets.
As their equipment gets set up theres chants of WWWHHHEELL from the crowd..... At last its time for them to play - straight into 'She's A Weapon' - and the crowd go mad.Its a new set, with new songs, the first newie 'Velvet' is amazing with a Who type feel to it. A big cheer goes up as the crowd recognise the first chords of (the free download track) 'Tell The World' which hasnt been played live for a long long time. With the 'Uk Blues' line of 'nothings like it used to be' its pretty topical, just like its echoes of a Jam style guitar sound. 'Do It Again', another newie is featured definately giving the crowd something to think about. The eagerly awaited second album from Twisted Wheel is gonna be a corker if these new songs are anything to go by.
SET LIST
'Shes A Weapon'
'Lucy The Castle'
'We Are Us'
'Velvet'
'Tell The World'
'Let them have it All'
'UK Blues'
'Do It Again'
'Oh What have you Done'
Its a short walk down The Broadway from Henry J Beans to the venue for their second set, The Watershed where they will be the main support to the fabulous View, but its a few hours before they are due to be on, so theres plenty of time for a few beers. As time goes by (Twisted Wheel werent due to go on stage until 10.45) it becomes apparent that something is amiss. As there had been venue difficulties, The View had decided that they would not go on at their alloted time, so Twisted Wheel's set had to be put back, which meant it was gone 1am before they were on stage (other bands were on AFTER them!!). Never the less, the lads played a brilliant set featuring some of their new songs, the crowd full appreciating it, with people on each other's shoulders and stage invasions.
