Low and behold, a couple of summers after this, the boys did return to bangor, but to play a sold out Tennent's Vital in support of The Script, playing 400 yards from the small building our gig was in.
On the night only a few people showed up, but I can remember thinking in a years time if people heard they had the chance to see Two Door Cinema Club in Bangor up close and personal, and they didn't take that chance, they would be raging. The only date that would work was the weekend before the flew off to London which meant we had a small window to promote the gig. I had no money to pay them, so demanded they did it and only paid them in beer and pizza. So as part of a our fundraising for that trip I asked the boys to play a gig in the local town. I was leading a team to Uganda that summer, a team that the boys had shown an interest in going on but clearly had different plans. First thing that came to my mind was milking them for all their worth before they go. Any spare time they had, they would spend practice and jamming in Alex's mums house.Īs it approached the summer of 2009, with the massive success of their EP, the boys told me they where moving to London to see if the band was going to go anywhere. Listening to their conversations about how their new sound was forming, it was fun to watch. The boys from the band, I would see a couple times a week as they would help me run our local youth club. Who started making a name for themselves as the band with no drummer, deciding early on to use a drum machine in place of a drummer. Sam, Kev and Alex decided to start a band from the ashes of Life Without Rory. Patrick, the drummer, left and joined another local band. Not long after this gig, Life Without Rory, made up of 4 best friends, amicably split as a band but remained good friends. I went along and was really impressed, the small crowd seemed impressed too. About 3 days into the job, one of the guys I was working with came up to me and invited me to come with him in Belfast as he was going to see his little brothers band play a gig.
#TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB TOUR DATES 2017 UPDATE#
UPDATE (3/27): Phoenix has announced a full world tour that will run from May 12 to September 30, hitting North America, Europe and Asia.11 years ago, I had just started a new job as a youth worker. Over on the new BBC Music Stage are The Jesus and Mary Chain, Beth Orton, and A Blaze Of Feather. UPDATE (3/1): Phoenix has announced additional dates for their 2017 Summer tour via a teaser video with a snippet of a new song. Latitude Festival add more acts including previous headliner, Two Door Cinema Club as very special Saturday night guests, as well as The Coral, Leon Bridges, and Mystery Jets for the Obelisk Arena. One of the things that hit me when I stood in the pit or side of stage apart from how MENTAL the crowds were in Liverpool & Glasgow and how great the boys are, was the excitement in the faces of the crowd. ¡Primera ronda de confirmaciones del 2017! /lSpIQxBQnE When Two Door Cinema Club released their UK tour dates I arranged to join them for a day or two and see how the shows were going. With Bankrupt! the band started to stray away from the pop sounds from the last album, and tried a more experimental route that proved to show the versatility of the band. The French rock band’s last appearance was about 3 years ago for the new album Bankrupt! This album came after their last album titled Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix that was released back in 2009. The lineup so far includes other acts like Depeche Mode, Daphni, Die Antwood, Andrew Weatherall, Two Door Cinema Club, DJ Tennis, Marvin & Guy, and Fleet Foxes. The event will take place July 6-8, 2017. This festival will be the bands first show since 2014 when they toured with Bankrupt!
Bilbao BBK Live, the Spanish music festival, officially announced the new additions to the 2017 line up with Phoenix as one of the headliners. Yesterday brought about speculation as Phoenix updated their social media profiles alongside their website giving us hopes that they are getting prepared to release a new record.
