Last night, Twiddle kicked off a “Plumpty Dumpty” spring tour with a blowout performance at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC. Expectations were certainly high, as the band has been going all out in recent live shows on the heels of their PLUMP album release.
The tour opener was no exception, as the band got exploratory with a five-song set that lasted well over an hour. The excitement poured into the encore, as the group welcomed Andy Blair of Groove Fetish for the final song of the night, “Mamunes The Faun.”
Thanks to taper Matt Moricle, we have full audio from the performance. Tune in below:
For Twiddle fans, be sure to catch the group make their debut at the Capitol Theatre, with support from TAUK. That funky throwdown takes place on May 7th, and more information can be found here.
