THE TWILIGHT SAD IN CONCERT:
Scottish indie rock band The Twilight Sad has spent more than a decade recording brooding, compelling anthems about dark themes like isolation and death. At their electrifying live shows, they stun audiences with thunderous sets that breathe new life into their gloom-soaked catalog by adding layers of loud, experimental instrumentation. The result is a show packed with artsy indie rock songs reminiscent of Radiohead and Franz Ferdinand. Singer James Graham's deep, heavily accented voice soars above the music, giving ticket buyers an entrancing experience that simply can't be found anywhere else.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
As their name suggests, indie rockers The Twilight Sad possess a sound that blends darkly poetic lyricism, melancholy moods, and majestic musicianship. Singer James Graham, guitarist Andy MacFarlane, drummer Mark Devine, and bassist Craig Orzel formed the band in Kilsyth, Scotland in 2003. Their debut album, 2007's Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, was critically praised for its idiosyncratic collection of polished rock tracks. The band has said they don't want any of their albums to sound the same, and they've certainly achieved that goal with their vastly different subsequent releases. 2009's Forget The Night Ahead is a less refined, more experimental collection, 2012's No One Can Ever Know is ominous and synth-heavy, and 2014's Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave is guitar-fueled and rock-heavy. On the live circuit, The Twilight Sad has played at SXSW and toured as a supporting act for bands including Snow Patrol, Mogwai, Chvrches, and The Smashing Pumpkins. The band continues to dazzle ticket buyers with their unique live shows, always delivering utterly unforgettable performances.
