New Century Hall

The Twilight Sad are a Scottish post-punk and indie rock band from Kilsyth, formed in 2003. The band originally included members James Graham, Andy MacFarlane, Craig Orzel, and Mark Devine. The current lineup consists of Graham and MacFarlane. They have released six studio albums, along with several EPs, live recordings, and singles. Their debut album, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters, was released in 2007 and received critical acclaim; it was noted for Graham's Scottish accent and MacFarlane's dense guitar and accordion arrangements. The band is known for their loud live performances, which have been described as "completely ear-splitting," and they toured across Europe and the United States in 2007 and 2008. In 2008, they released the mini-album Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did., featuring reworked live versions. Their second album, Forget the Night Ahead, released in 2009, marked a shift toward more personal lyrics and a darker, more streamlined sound, and was also well-received. Recording sessions for this album produced the 2010 release The Wrong Car, following the departure of bassist Craig Orzel in February 2010.
