Twisted Wheel rock the Kasbah ~ Coventry (09/10/10)

Last night the good people of Coventry had a rare treat instore - to witness the remodeled Twisted Wheel, before they embark on the recording of their new album (to be released early next year). The band are only playing a handful of gigs before they lock themselves away in the studio, to bring you a feast of rock n roll at its freshest and its best - Wheel style!

The Kasbah had played host to the mayhem before, but last night, it was packed to the rafters, with everyone wanting a glimpse of rock n roll history, the first gig in England with the new line up. With the familiar chants of Wwwwwhhhheeeeellll - the band emerged onstage, and straight into 'Shes A Weapon'. From it's first chords, it was evident that the Wheel were an even more powerful, unstoppable rock n roll force, sounding tighter than ever. A re-worked 'Racket' followed with an extra verse that went down really well. More favourites followed - 'One Night on the Street, 'Lucy the Castle', 'Strife' amongst others, with a brand new song 'New Boy' (working title), and the brilliant 'UK Blues'.

The Wheel played for over an hour, they ran over their alloted time, but the crowd still wanted more. No one could deny that the night was a triumph. Long live the new Wheel!!
