The Twilight Sad: "Last Year's Rain Didn't Fall Quite So..."

Apparently the Twilight Sad started out as an extended-length noise band, an approach that is mostly gone from their recorded material these days, but which was all too present in their live set. This song was where it bottomed out during their Terrace show -- with singer James Graham turned away from the audience and all but motionless for over six minutes, he repeated the song's sparse lyrics over a set of tuneless tones to what turned out to be more than a few boos. Afterwards, a middle-aged man who was clearly out of his element asked me what kind of music it was; I told him it was Scottish.

Some assholes were actually booing them, wtf. Idiots. They are a brilliant band and I enjoyed the performance immensely.

Graham is simply showing the majority of the audience the same courtesy as they're showing him.

Shame they 'paid' him for the privilege.

Why did the singer stand with his back to the crowd and why were the crowd talking so much and not listening to the tune.

I reckon something has went on before that song.

Amazing band anyhoo!

[georgiapiper]

they're brilliant!

[piadox]

this is the first video I see of them performing this song. And it has added lyrics.

And boo?! I wanna transport into this video and slap that guy! He probably was there to see Fall Out Boy or something like it... er, I don't know the lineup of this such festival.
