The Twist Connection

“It’s not only rock’n’roll. It’s the electricity that runs through our veins. The howl that shakes our brains. And our legs. And your hips. It’s not a way of life. It’s life itself. It’s us. Who we are. Nothing else, nothing less.”

 Born in 2016, The Twist Connection quickly became one of the best live acts on the portuguese music scene. Three well received albums and hundreds of gigs later, they have to be considered one of the hardest working bands in business, feeling equally at home playing dive bars or big festivals - and everything in-between! - and always delivering intense performances fueled by an unshakable faith in the power of rock’n’roll music! 

“Speedball Baby meets The Kinks and MC5”, critics wrote. “The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion”, someone shouted. “The Make-Up”, some whispered. But none got it right: they really don’t sound like anyone else! Classic rock’n’roll filtered through(proto and post) punk sensibilities and an eye on the future. Three men with history on their backs and driven personalities to match. Distorted yet melodic guitars, highly creative bass lines and bullshit-free pounding drums.

It’s the twist connection. It’s not only rock’n’roll!
