Two Door Cinema Club rocks the house with a comeback performance

Two+Door+Cinema+Club+rocks+the+house+with+a+comeback+performance

The chandelier shook as the vibrations sent shivers down the spines of those lucky enough to attend the Two Door Cinema Club Concert on Oct. 21. The band from Northern Ireland followed an energetic opening played by New York natives, St. Lucia and Friends.

A line began to form at the Crystal Ballroom around five o’clock, and eager fans stood in the brisk autumn weather awaiting their favorite band’s performance. The crowd grew quickly, as this was TDCC’s first performance in Portland in nearly two years. Those two years proved to be a growing period for TDCC, since then they have released two albums and various singles, creating a large presence in the indie culture.

Their performance was that of lights and color. They kept a two-tone strobe light at the back of the stage that seemed to flash you into another dimension as they began with “Sleep Alone,” the upbeat, leading single of their new album ‘Beacon.’ The cheering crowd stayed animated throughout the band’s set.

After an abrupt halt, the three quirky band members sauntered off the stage in a silent exit. A stunned audience immediately began an encore chant that was met by a suspenseful passing of time. After what seemed like an eternity of begging and cheering, TDCC jumped back on the stage more spirited than before and let their classic stand-by’s blast out of the speakers. The crowd jumped with amazement as “Undercover Martyn” and “What You Know” closed the awe inspiring performance. Needless to say, every fan skipped out of The Crystal Ballroom satisfied with the amazing concert just witnessed. An eager crowd of admirers patiently waits for the next opportunity to see the unforgettable performance of Two Door Cinema Club.

About the Contributor
Marley Young
Marley Young, Athletics Co-Editor
Swimming in underground caves in West Virginia is scary enough, but when mixed with cold water and fish with no eyes, it becomes downright frightful. This, among other things, makes Marley Young, senior, different than your average high school student.

“We had to swim out of the underground caves in freezing 50 degree cold water.” said Young, her traveling experience makes her a pro at adapting to new situations like frigid cold cave swimming. Young’s best vacation consisted of a trip to Alaska, where she whale watched and kayaked.  But that’s not the only place Young wishes to visit.

“I want to live in Italy because of the good food, great culture and people.” Having lived in Ohio, West Virginia and Oregon, Young has traveling experience, and her passion for orangutan rehabilitation may take her all over the world. While in these exotic places she might incorporate her special talents of, clarinet, drums, violin and piano. When Young has free time she can relax with her hobbies of hiking, rock climbing, golf and eating Thai food.

All of these travels, talents and hobbies add on to the list that makes Marley Young a extreme adventure junkie, pro traveler and not your average high school student.
