Twiddle rang in the New Year with a two-night, sold-out run in Boston, performing at the Paradise Rock Club on December 30th, followed by a show at the House of Blues Boston for New Year’s Eve. Now, Twiddle has officially shared new media from both shows.
Twiddle kicked off the Boston run with an “Underplay” pre-party at Paradise Rock Club, which featured two sets of original tunes and extended jams. The four-song first set clocked in around 1 hour, featuring a 25+ minute “Gatsby The Great” to open, followed by a nearly 19-minute “Doinkinbonk”, 13+ minute “Amydst The Myst”, and 8-minute “Hattibagen McRat”. Clearly using the show to supercharge themselves for their final performance of the year, Twiddle expanded their second set with lengthy versions of “Cabbage Face”, “Latin Tang”, “Subconscious Prelude”, and “The Box”. Listen to the full show below.

After releasing full-show audio from their guest-filled NYE rager, Twiddle has shared pro-shot video from the sold-out NYE show, which welcomed 2019 with a nasty medley. “Polluted Beauty” sent the band and attendees properly into 2019, as they continued the party amongst a deluge of confetti with a pair of celebratory covers—traditional New Year’s anthem “Auld Lang Syne” and Talking Heads‘ “Burning Down The House”, which featured The Werks members Chris Houser and Rob Chafin.
