Having met at school, the band began performing as Two Door Cinema Club, a mispronunciation of Tudor Cinema Club in their hometown, in 2007 and soon faced a difficult decision - to continue their education or choose to pursue a career in music. Sharing both vocal and musical duties, the trio were initially influenced by the melodic rock of acts such as Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse. Hailing from Bangor and Donaghdee in Northern Ireland, the three piece consists of Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird. The group has amounted a solid amount of buzz since, and based on the fans in the front row that seemed to know most of their songs, it’s safe to say it won’t be long until they’re headlining shows of their own here.įind photo galleries and the setlists for both Blossoms and Two Door Cinema Club posted below.With their unique brand of electro pop rock, Two Door Cinema Club have found a legion of fans in the UK, Ireland, America and beyond. Opening the show was rising English rockers Blossoms, who released their debut album last year. The group sound as good as ever, and seem to be at a real good place at the moment. It was good to see Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday, Kevin Baird and longtime touring drummer Ben Thompson back at it again, as well as newer touring member Jacob Berry joining the team. Two Door delivered a lot of the older favorites that fans expected, and did quite a job elevating the new songs in a new way that really made them pop. The show opened with a bang, as they opened with three albums from their debut: “Cigarettes in the Theatre,” “Undercover Martyn,” and “Do You Want It All?” Being it the pit, it almost pained me to hear not one, not two, but three songs from the debut being played as when you’re in the photo pit, you don’t quite get to “enjoy” the songs in the same way as you’re mind is quite occupied, but alas, what a first world problem. It also helped that the new songs were surrounded by all the familiar hits. While I didn’t particularly care for the new record as much as their previous work, the songs did work a lot better in the live environment.

But it being the lone NYC stop made it that much more special for all who were there. To be honest, I’m surprised that they only did one show, as they easily could’ve added a second one and it probably would’ve sold out just as quick as the first (especially based on Stubhub prices leading up to the show). This was surprisingly the first time I’ve seen them live in five years, with that show taking place at Central Park SummerStage. On May 1 they finally brought their tour to New York City for a sold out performance at Brooklyn Steel.

Last year the Irish rockers released their third album, Gameshow (via Glassnote Records).

It’s not a surprise to see just how big the group have become since, their energetic and still very enjoyable debut album was a sign of a band about to hit the ground running in a big way, and they’ve completely lived up to every bit of that promise. It’s safe to say that Two Door Cinema Club have come quite a ways since their first NYC show at The Bell House nearly seven years ago to the day (where the hell has the time gone?).
