Almost made a thread about these guys last summer. They can rip. Def have some real potential I think. Still pretty raw but they've got a lot of room to grow, real small, and pretty fresh.







Hard to find stuff online for them as there really isn't a whole lot out there. I'll try to add a little bit. Thought I'd share them. Worth checking out.

IF you don't like it, that's fine. Just thought I'd share. I'll try and dig up some other stuff from the intrawebs.

My brother mixed there sound board at The Frendly Gathering Festival this year in Vermont. He was raving about them when he got back. They were pretty close to offering him a job to mix for them on tour.

Twiddles so sick, definitely an up and coming jam band. I love carter candlestick.

There's a recent show opening for the heavy pets at the fox in march. Didn't end up making the shows but they're the shit.

Just saw them at a party in central ny again and decided to make the thread. I was bummed I missed there set at vibes.

quite the hype wagon starting to build around them the last 6 months. Honestly feel it might be a bit excessive but they're going places.

Yeah I heard they killed it at Friendly Gathering. I've heard a few of their songs, they fucking jam.

For them I'll have to see what I can dig up when I get home.

Haven't listened to them much recently. Just noticed that they're starting to blow up.

For other bands I'll see what I can think of. I end up seeing a lot of smaller regional bands.

Twiddle had a bright future though. Good for them.

They've been selling out stuff back east moving up to bigger venues now. Actually had tickets to see them in Avon, Co but the website also lists past dates so I found a date that was MArch 13, 14 instead of march 11 2015. Car was also broken and a bunch of other shit. Oh well. Haven't seen them in a while but happy to see them having so much success.


Look for this band to blow up, seriously. I'm not saying headlining MSG right now but they'll be moving up the fest lineups, and playing bigger venues every year. That might not be huge but considering they were opening for some pretty small bands at tiny bars to nobody a few years ago that's pretty big.

for sure, I've been seeing them play at little bars in CT before they blew up. check out this audience recording from a show they played at the canyons resort a few weeks ago....

Know a hippy chick who's a big fan of them, she got wasted after the show with them and missed all her finals the next day. Said it was worth it.

Jesus, Hype wagon times a thousand. They're starting to blow up.


I still think the hype is super super overkill but they're going places. They've already outgrown a lot of venues, and are selling a lot of the smaller end stuff out. On the rise for sure.

While they can certainly twiddle their instruments really fast, their music is just meh for me. None of of their songs take you anywhere special, everything sounds the same, and and it feels like each player is just trying to show off how fast they can jam. They played waaaay too many times at friendly gathering and it just got so dull. I have a hunch that 70% of people at jam band shows are pretending to actually have fun because they think it makes them chill. In reality, after 3 hours of the same song most people are about to fall asleep. Definitely just an opinion because I know lots of people who love them.

Read this weather you like them or not. Its pretty funny.

They just sold out the cap which holds 1,800 and will be playing the palace in albany which holds another 1k for nye. Even if they dont sell it out if it sells well thats huge.



Also i think i fucking hate the new twiddle. Their fans are fucking horrible and i dont really like any of their new songs. Too many hippy dippy chick lyrics about the trees and being happy and whatever.

Good for them though. I wish them the best. A jamband getting big in this market is nuts. mean it's so fucking over saturated. Also the whole electro wave in college.

I'm actually surprised there aren't any other thread on them. I guess nobody posts on the forums really and jambands are dead on here these days, but they're getting pretty fucking big.

They're going to start playing some big rooms all over soon. They will be selling out those rooms soon, and they're really on the up and up.

I don't really listen to them anymore. I'll probably still try and see them once in a while, but it's crazy to have watched them grow this fast in such a short time
