Bio
The Lemon Twigs are an American pop/rock band from Long Island, New York, United States, fronted by brothers Brian D'Addario and Michael D'Addario. They both write and perform, they are joined for live performance by Megan Zeankowski on bass and Danny Ayala on keyboards and backing vocals.
Before I start to talk about ‘The Twigs’ (as no-one calls them), it’s worth mentioning support act Matt Maltese, who’s unassuming yet brilliant set reminded me of Rufus Wainwright in his prime… check him out when you have a chance.
But this band isn’t just doo wop; the concept numbers off “Go To School” are room-engorging feasts of drama. The Lesson, a perfectly anguished song to accompany your mid twenties nihilism phase, is right at home with Michael D’Addario’s slithering fuck-it-all rock god persona.
They kicked off night one of their two-night run at Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (January 18) and it featuring an opening performance from both Jackie Cohen and Rubber Band Gun, with some members of the latter also playing with the former.
