Nothing could compare with seeing a band now as big in the UK as Two Door Cinema Club at the front of a small venue in September. Furthermore, the two support bands were mediocre and I feared an anti climax. However, this was joyful evening, because once again the Northern Irish band inspired the audience into a happy frenzy, and the atmosphere was incredible. Now, even the new songs from their second album Beacon are familiar to a majority of fans, and from the outset the catchy melodies and reserved but confident charisma of Alex Trimble captivated. I'm happy that after seeing TDCC several times last year, I'm going to experience again them in April at Coachella. I suspect that two years on from their first appearance there, I won't be seeing them in one of the smaller tents early in the day. I've followed them from small indie roots, and it's so satisfying to see their hard work being rewarded with their current stardom. The music is relatively simple, even formulaic if you analyse it too closely, but every time I'm seen them in the UK, the audience has elevated the experience to the highly memorable.
