J-RAD starts of the New Year run by predictably performing an insane set at The Brooklyn Bowl last night. 

 

     J-RAD after performing a secret acoustic show got down to business last night by doing what they do best melting Grateful hearts and faces. They kicked off their New Year run at the Brooklyn Bowl, but are bringing the only game in town to the famed Capital Theatre the next two nights. Thanks to Jambase here is the setlist.

Twiddle with Midnight North 10/29/16 Brooklyn Bowl

Twiddle closed out their three-night run at Brooklyn Bowl with Midnight North Opening.  Midnight North had a bluesy, southern rock sound and the highlight was their set ending, rocking cover of "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" by CSNY. 

Mihali of Twiddle joined Grahame Lesh and Elliot Peck for a mini acoustic set in between the bands.  They played Midnight North's " Find A Way", Twiddle's "When It Rains It Pours", and covered "Eyes Of The World" by the Grateful Dead.

Twiddle followed up by playing two sets to a full house. The energy and atmosphere showed why they are a band fully on the rise. In the past year they have continued to progress and are climbing the ladder on festival billings.  It is only a matter of time until they are near the top of festival line-ups. 

Setlist:

Set 1: intro, Amydst, The Mydst, Grandpa Fox, Carter Candlestick, Tiberius
Set 2: Apples*, Wasabi Eruption>The Box, Lost In The Cold, Beethoven and Greene, enc break, Dr. Remidis Melodium

* - With Scotty Zwang sitting in on drums.
