2015 will start with a flourish for those that hold alternative music to heart when the much lauded Scottish band ’’The Twilight Sad‘’ play two dates in a personal intimate setting at the round theatre at the St. James Cavalier on the 9th and 10th January 2015.

Renowned and revered for their intense performances The Twilight Sad have released three full-length albums. Their 2007 debut album, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters, drew widespread acclaim from critics. Scottish culture magazine The Skinny rated it Scotland’s second best album of the decade whilst American internet mag Pitchfork gave it a whopping 8.6 out of 10.

The follow up album ‘Forget the Night Ahead’ (2009) was listed in NME’s critics’ choice Top 100 albums of the Decade and the band’s third album “No One Can Ever Know’ won the public vote for the Scottish Album of the Year in 2012. The band arrive as part of an extensive tour in promotion of their fourth album called ‘’Nobody wants to be here and Nobody wants to leave,’ which will be released on the 28th October. ‘’Nobody…’’ was recorded at Mogwai’s Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow and mixed by Pete Katis (producer of The National, Jonsi and Interpol) in the US. Word has it that it is their strongest album yet.

The Twilight Sad have toured and supported some of the biggest names in the alternative scene. They have opened for The Smashing Pumpkins, the Manic Street Preachers and toured with the likes of Biffy Clyro and post-rock legends Mogwai and Mono. Last May they played the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.
