THE TWITCH IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR WEDDINGS AND FUNCTIONS!
The Twitch has always been diverse band with many musical influences. Along with a diverse set list, The Twitch has gained a diverse following. This has allowed them to expand their act to the private party scene. Accompanying the barroom favorites by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, The Twitch has added the universal appeal of Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison and John Mellencamp. This broad range of music allows for a more well rounded function that will satisfy everyone at your party.
Now, there are a lot of great wedding bands out there with the horns and the female singer so Aunt Mary can hear "Crazy" and all the cheese that goes along with it but, let’s face it, that might not be the right fit for you and your friends and family. Consider adding a little rock and roll to your function. Rock and roll with class, light on the cheese.
So, Although not your "typical" wedding band, The Twitch offers so much more at a much lower cost. Party rock that will keep Grandma and the kids dancing all night.
For 5 years The Twitch has rocked the Seacoast and areas surrounding with a killer cover act spanning the musical realm of rock with songs from Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Buckcherry. Within those 5 years The Twitch was working hard shaping an original sound for the band. The result is the EP you hear on Myspace. Modern rock with classic influences and pop appeal. With a full length CD in the works, The Twitch continues to create familiar but excitingly new sounds for the masses of rock enthusiasts. Working the bars and clubs with their cover act has allowed them to develop a monster stage show that surpasses all expectations. With high energy vocals, grooving beats, air guitar worthy licks and riffs and moving rythym The Twitch is ready to get into your head and rock your world.

They’ve got the right power chords percolating throughout, they’ve got blistering solos, they’ve got a rock singer who isn’t afraid to lash out a screech here and there, and who has done his studies in rock tune writing by way of formulating pop-oriented chorus’ ripe and ready for audience participation.
