Two Door Cinema Club recently played their largest gig ever, at Alexandra Palace in London. They were supported by Chvrches and Everything Everything (who seemed like a band tailor-made to perform at Eurovision!). The venue was packed and all 3 bands performed well.
But here’s the thing – TDCC are just so average! Over the past few years they have acquired a massive following and people seem to generally really like them. I don’t think they’re horrible, but they’re not amazing either. Making it fairly difficult to take a stance on them! Sometimes, when you discover a new food you get absolutely addicted to it and eat almost only that for a few days – until suddenly you realize that you’ve overdone it and even the sight of that food makes you nauseous. This is how I feel about TDCC. When I first discovered them I thought they were great and listened to their album Tourist History on repeat for a week. With the release of Beacon, I had a similar reaction. But the thing about this band is that after that first week... I was so tired of them that I didn’t listen to them again for ages!
That being said, I would be very surprised if anyone came out of this concert saying that they didn’t have a good time. There wasn’t a second of their performance where the entire audience wasn’t on their feet and ecstatic. While I found a lot of their songs to be as predictable as the inevitable balloon drop over the audience, their final song, “What you know” was a great way to end the gig. I really enjoyed the concert and TDCC are getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight!
