Love this band. Been waiting to see them love since '09. Been waiting to see The Cure since forever. I was at work when I saw the tour announcement and nearly had to sit down when I saw they were the opening band. Any other fans? I personally was not a fan of Robert's cover of their song a Girl in the Corner.. But I would love to hear them try their hand at a Cure track.

This is a fantastic live concert they did with the Royal National Scottish Orchestra. If they are as good here as they are on the tour, they might give The Cure a run for their money on my favorite for the night.
Anybody else like these guys? I've listened to them a bit & thought they were pretty good. Obviously, Robert likes them as I think they are opening for the whole tour. A 45 minute set could be quite good although I will be on pins & needles waiting for the main event. What a perfect name for a band opening for the Cure!

Took me a while to find this Twilight Sad thread, hidden way back in time.
Got to my 4 gigs early to enjoy (if thats the word) their dense sonic wall of sound and despair. Loved Andy MacFarlanes controlled use of the tremolo and distortion.
Spotted this article detailing their guitar/bass gear and pedal boards. Interesting stuff:

Why do you think is that?
(I don´t really know Twilight Sad, except I´ve seen them live in 2016, but I couldn´t really enjoy their music back then, I was too nervous about seeing The Cure...)
You think their original work is better? Or is it the electronic style you don´t really like about Robert´s cover?

Finally managed to be in the right place at the right time - will be seeing The Twilight Sad in a small venue ( 400 peeps at Brudenell Social Club) in Leeds on Saturday. They’ve been in the studio, so possible new tracks...
