On Friday night, Twiddle played at the State Theater in Portland, Maine, and Palace Theatre in Albany, N.Y. on Saturday; both performances featured sit-ins by Midnight North band members Grahame Lesh (guitar) and Elliot Peck (vocals).
Friday night's show kicked off with “Blunderbuss” followed by “Every Soul” and “Doinkinbonk!!!” Next up, the band debuted a cover of The Cranberries' favorite, “Zombie.” Classic “Frankenfoote” off Twiddle’s 2007 LP Natural Evolution of Consciousness preluded a cover of Tom Petty’s “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” featuring Lesh and Peck.
The second set got underway with “The Devil” followed by 2017’s “Amydst the Myst” and “Mamunes the Faun.” Next up, the band played “Collective Pulse,” “Breakadiddown,” and fan-favorite “Jamflowman” before ending the set with “When It Rains It Pours.” Twiddle covered Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House" for their encore.
Following Friday night’s performance, Twiddle headed to Albany, N.Y. for a show at the Palace Theatre. Once more, the Vermont natives were joined by members of Midnight North. The first set began with a segued pairing of “Enter” and “Orlando’s,” followed by “Syncopated Healing” and “White Light.”
The first set continued with “Apples” before Joe Cirotti (guitar) and Peck took the stage to assist with a cover of John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery.” The set ended with “Stroganoff.” Set two began with “Latin Tang” and continued with “Mildew Man” segued into a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Shakedown Street” featuring Lesh.
The set proceeded with “The Box” off 2011’s Somewhere On the Mountain, followed by set-ender “Lost in the Cold,” featuring Lesh on guitar. For their encore, Twiddle was joined by Scott Hannay on keys for “The Devil,” which was played the night before in Portland, Maine.
Next up, Twiddle will take a well-deserved break before picking it back up with a three-night residency at Brooklyn Bowl in New York City beginning March 17. For more information and tickets, visit TwiddleMusic.com/Tour.
