Twin Atlantic - Night and Day, Manchester

On Saturday 6th Feburary Twin Atlantic played their biggest headline show to date, selling out all 1300 tickets at Glasgow's ABC1 venue.

Rewind 3 days and the guys are playing the intimate Night and Day cafe in Manchester's Northern Quarter to around 100 people. Though the 2 shows are worlds apart in size and scale the bands performance is the same, full of passion and raw live energy.



They blast through a set of songs from their mini album Vivarium and early ep A Guidance From Colour as well as a new song, the incredibly catchy Running From Money and a slight reworking of older song Atlas Factory.



Twin Atlantic's music has an infectious energy that you can't help but get caught up in, and choruses that are just begging to be sung along with.

Set List:

You're Turning Into John Wayne
Lightspeed
I Cave In
Old Grey Face (And The Way Of The Magenta)
Time Is The Enemy
Better Weather
Running From Money
Atlas Factory
Crashland
A Guidance From Colour
What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?

All Time Low - Fopp instores

All Time Low last week visited Fopp stores in Glasgow and Manchester, whilst on the Kerrang tour.



First up was Glasgow, where hundreds of (mostly female) fans queued for hours to see the lads perform a short acoustic set, and sign copies of their Unplugged album.

Unfortunately for fans queueing in Manchester they had to cancel the performance part of their appearance an hour before they arrived. Leaving fans who had been waiting for up to 8 hours slightly dissapointed. Though frowns soon turned to smiles when the signing started.

Biffy Clyro HMV instore appearances

Biffy Clyro this week visited a number of HMV stores in Scotland and England in support of new single Many Of Horror.

Ukgigsandfestivals went along to the Scottish instores where the band were greeted by hundreds of very excitable fans. It was reported that fans started queueing shortly after midnight at the Glasgow store to guarantee themselves wristbands to the 6 song acoustic set and signing.





The band found themselves signing the usual Cd's and vinyls along with a whole host of other unusual items... Wooden spoons, inflatable crocodiles, shoes and quite a number of iphones, guitars and bass's.



The acoustic performance was a treat for any fan, with the band playing some lesser heard songs in amongst the newer hits. Songs performed were: The Captain, God and Satan, Little Soldiers, Mountains, Breatheher and Many Of Horror.





Although Glasgow's instore was limited to 350 wristbands many other fans watched from upper levels of the store, getting a birds eye view of the stage. The queue afterwards for the signing seemed to be never ending, as it snaked round the store, clearly greater than 350 long.

The band finally finished signing at 8:45pm in Glasgow, and were still looking as happy as when signing started at 1pm in Edinburgh. Even stopping to have a few photos with a couple of rather excitable young photographers ;)
