Gig Guide: Sat 3rd Oct
Sat 3rd Oct 20:00 TWISTED WHEEL :: NEW EDUCATION :: THE IRON DOOR CLUB
Twisted Wheel have confirmed an extensive autumn headline tour throughout the UK followed by a series of dates as special guests to Paul Weller. These dates follow on from the huge series of outdoor dates supporting both Oasis & Paul Weller earlier this summer and their recent trip to Japan where they performed at the Fuji Rocks festival to a rapturous response.
Twisted Wheel have quickly earned themselves a reputation as one of the hardest working young touring bands around, completing several headline tours of the UK, triumphant festival appearances and also as the band of choice for today’s acts to play with. Since signing to Columbia the band have played with the likes of Oasis, The Enemy, Friendly Fires, Secret Machines, Ian Brown, The View, Pigeon Detectives, The Courteeners, Reverend & The Makers, Kasabian, The Rascals, The Coral & The Happy Mondays to name but a few.
The band released their critically acclaimed debut album earlier this year on Columbia Records.
New Education sprang, in January 2008. For three months they scurried away in their demo studio in a church’s storage room, writing enough tunes to justify the attention they were about to get. Then they hit the North, dodging their Stoke fanbase to play headline shows across the country. By the summer’s end, their graft was paying off. Their Stoke club night Club Education had rebuilt their local buzz and their skyrocketing escapist anthems, referencing The Clash and The Cure as much as any ladrock behemoth like Oasis, had landed them a singles deal with Kids Records, the label behind The Wombats, The Whip, iLIKETRAINS and Band Of Horses. In October they released a limited-to-500 single ‘Today’, the balladesque totem of the band.
The single sold out; the whirlwind struck. Within six months New Education had toured with The Twang, The Holloways, Peter Doherty and The Rifles, prompting scenes of devotion, delirium, frugging moshpits and flung pints wherever they went.
The Iron Door Club (Formally Young Guns) open the show.
