Over the weekend, Vermont four-piece Twiddle played a two-night run at Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club, working in and out of theme songs from the band’s favorite films and television shows. Included in the weekend’s theme were Harry Potter, James Bond, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Braveheart, Game of Thrones, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Another highlight of the weekend was Pigeons Playing Ping Pong guitarist Jeremy Schon joining Twiddle mid-way through their second set on Friday night, for a roaring take on Twiddle’s “Apples”. Twiddle and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong are no strangers to each other, having played a number of shows and festivals together over the years. Recently, the two bands announced a co-headlining Red Rocks Amphitheatre show, on Thursday, May 2nd, 2019, with Bozeman, MT-based jamgrass outfit the Kitchen Dwellers handling the evening’s opening duties.
Twiddle’s lead guitarist Mihali Savoulidis noted, “What’s really cool about this show is that we and the Pigeons have been friends and playing together for years when we were drawing 200 people and now, 5 years later, we are headlining Red Rocks together.”
