Twiddle was at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in Hampton Beach, NH on Saturday as part of their ongoing run of shows throughout the northeast with lespecial and Gatos Blancos. Saturday night’s performance with lespecial was another special one for Twiddle and their fans, as the popular jam/rock band delivered a fun mix of covers over two sets and an encore.

The band began the show with a rendition of “Earth Mama” before tearing into a three-song segue beginning with “Latin Tang”. The segment continued right into “Indigo Trigger” from 2017’s PLUMP before guitarist Mihali Savoulidis led the charge into the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros with a cover of the “Game of Thrones” theme, a nod to the HBO show’s return on Sunday. The band’s electrifying cover of the beloved “GoT” theme can be watched below.

The band didn’t jam around with the television tune too long, as they transitioned back into “Indigo Trigger” before continuing their first set with another cover, this time Citizen Cope‘s “Son’s Gonna Rise”. The first half of the show came to a close with the band returning to their own song catalog with two more songs off of PLUMP in “Lost in the Cold” and “Be There”.

Twiddle returned to the stage to start the second half of Saturday show with “Hattie’s Jam” > “When it Rains it Pours”. The second set continued with “Zazu’s Flight” and “Gatsby the Great” before closing out with “Doinkinbonk!!!”. In the successful attempt at keeping their New Hampshire fans on their toes, Twiddle returned for a one-song encore with a cover of Talking Heads‘ “Girlfriend is Better”.
