Twiddle Debuts Cover Of A Song From Nickelodeon Show ‘Doug’ – Listen
Plumpty Dumpty tour is rolling on strong! Twiddle fans found themselves rocking out at New Mountain AVL in Asheville, NC last night, playing tunes from their new PLUMP album and more for an enthusiastic gathering. The show was packed with a number of highlights, including a guest appearance by local rapper Swank Rogers, who the band met earlier in the day. They also dedicated the first song of their encore, “Zazu’s Flight,” to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.However, the grand finale of the show made our headline for good reason. The group debuted a cover of a song that first appeared in an episode of Doug, a cartoon that ran from 1991-1994 on Nickelodeon. In the show, Doug was a major fan of a fictional band called The Beets, and one of the band’s songs was a tune called “I Need More Allowance.” Twiddle’s debut of “Allowance” caused quite the fan reaction!Thanks to taper Marty Loving we have full audio of the show!
