The Twilight Sad in New Orleans (05-11-16)
Since we have an off night on the tour, and I saw a few requests for some Twilight Sad videos in the comments, here you go! I Love this band!
Help recording Twilight Sad shows?
Update: And if anyone has video or audio of the Houston show, or just 'I Could Give You All That You Don't Want' with the intro dedication, please let me know. Thanks!
Can some of you help Rob with this?
"I presume a good number of The Cure shows in the US and Canada will be taped. I wonder whether you have any taper contacts who'd be good enough to also record the Twilight Sad support sets. A mountain of TS recordings for trade here, as well as a heap of other stuff. Private trades would be great, likewise anything appearing on Dime/tradersden etc."
If you can help Rob out, contact him here - robstrong (at) blueyonder (dot) co (dot) uk.
And I've checked with the band, and they are fine with the shows being recorded and traded for free.

New Twilight Sad interview
From the El Paso Times:
The Scottish band The Twilight Sad hopped on the indie scene to critical acclaim in 2007 with its debut album, “Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters.” The band, which combines noisy guitar with folk and lead singer James Graham’s heavy accent released two more albums, but according to Graham, felt like it had hit a wall, both creatively and in terms of popularity, following the release of its third album “No One Can Ever Know” in 2012.
The band returned, reinvigorated in 2014 with the release of its fourth album, “Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave.” Graham said the band approached the album as if it could have been its last. But the critical and fan acclaim that the album has garnered all but assures this won’t be the case. The band has been riding high since the album’s release and now finds itself on its biggest North American tour, opening for The Cure.
The tour stops in El Paso at the Don Haskins Center on Tuesday.
Graham took some time for a phone Q&A with The Beat from his home in Glasgow prior to the tour kicking off.
The Beat: So you’re about to go on tour with The Cure. What have you been doing to get ready?
Graham: It’s been a weird couple of days. I’ve been working with Stuart (Braithwaite) from Mogwai and Rachel (Goswell) from Slowdive on a project they are working on. I’m singing one song with them, it was really easy going. I’m just back (in Glasgow) for a couple of days before we take off to your country.
The Beat: Is it a surreal feeling to know you’re about to be on tour with one of your biggest influences? Is this your biggest tour of the U.S?
Graham: I feel privileged to be asked to be on it. I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty much a dream tour. A dream come true. We are used to playing 300-capacity venues. We toured with Mogwai once and it was a bit bigger but this is something I never thought was ever possible or would ever happen. Six weeks playing in front of thousands of people.
The Cure are our favorite band so I’m waiting to wake up from the dream or find out somebody’s playing a mean trick on me.
The Beat: You’ve been catfished! How did the tour happen?
Graham: (Laughs) Yes! We found out Robert (Smith) was a fan of the band on our second record. Mogwai emailed him some songs and Robert said he was already a fan. I ran around my house screaming the night I heard that. Then every time a record came out, we sent it to him. Last year we asked him if he’d be up to cover one of our songs, for a b-side. That was mind-blowing.
Then Robert emailed Andy, our guitarist, asking if we would like to go on tour. He’s been absolutely amazing. It’s amazing to see someone that can (care) and really want to help us out.
