	Twelfth Night (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twelfth Night is a British progressive rock (or neo-progressive) band of the 1980s.
		The album Twelfth Night was not released on CD for almost two decades due to an apparent contractual dispute, although one track from the album appeared on the original version of the Collector's Item CD, and another was added on the reissue.
		The band indicated that if they were unable to reacquire the original recordings they might re-form in order to re-record the entire album for CD.

	Twelfth Night - The Collector's Introduction
		I know that many people are still interested in the band's music; albums are still being re-released; people still trade a lot of live tapes; and, most important, the band is still an influence on new bands.
		Twelfth Night are seen as part of the wave of neo-progressive rock from Britain during the early Eighties, but actually, like for example Pallas, they were among the very first, and the music was not typically neo-prog.
		Last, but definitely not the least, is the official Twelfth Night Merchandise.

	Twelfth Night CD Review
		Ok there are distinct nods at classic period Genesis in places and a few motifs echo other past masters but beyond this the band had an extremely strong and original identity (whereas bands such as IQ and Pendragon borrowed almost exclusively from the Genesis and Camel sound/ compositional catalogue).
		The Twelfth Night sound is primarily one of challenge, both lyrically and musically bringing a sinister and pithy edge to their compositions (such as the fantastic 'We are Sane') and yet also able to treat the listener to some delightfully smooth and pastoral atmospheres (such as 'World without End').
		The title track sees Twelfth Night at perhaps their most commercial with the opening keyboard riff probably sitting comfortable on an early Depeche Mode album as well as some of the chord work of the bridge and chorus.

	Review: "Twelfth Night: Live At The Target (remaster)" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
		Twelfth Night are probably best known as the springboard for Geoff Mann who began his climb to fame as a result of being asked to provide vocals for the final song at the Reading Rock Festival in 1981.
		Twelfth Night certainly opts for the latter approach with their songs as they allow each piece of music to develop organically without any excessive showcasing or one-upmanship.
		Twelfth Night are neither and seemed to have missed a good opportunity to establish their name as being really competent in all areas.

	Folkstuff: Twelfth Night Celebration
		The Annual Twelfth Night Celebration, an Ithaca tradition for almost three decades, is a rare example of what happens when people decide to entertain themselves, instead of letting someone else do it.
		The Annual Twelfth Night Celebration is the final event of the Twelve Days of Christmas, a fitting end to the holiday season, and a last gasp before we have to face the reality of January in Ithaca.
		Twelfth Night is presented by various members of Ithaca's folk music community.

	DPRP CD Reviews - 2003 - Volume 66 - New Year's Eve Special
		There's lots of footage of the band backstage and in the tourbus, as well as some the interesting 'end of tour reflections' where Stolt let the camera running while the band discussed their experiences of the tour as it had just finished.
		CAP outstrip most of these bands in both ambition and execution, though this may not be surprising, as they were formed back in the 70’s (but did not have anything released at that time) so they have a wealth of experience to draw on.
		The way the band switch between mellow, spaced-out passages and furious high octane guitar-heavy passages in a seamless and apparently natural manner is highly impressive, as are the constantly shifting rhythms and cascading guitar riffs which appear from out of nowhere.

		While contemporaries Marillion went on (at one stage in their career) to play enormo-domes like Wembley Arena, and lesser bands like IQ and even the derivative Pendragon went on to lengthy careers, both commercial success and critical acclaim were to elude Twelfth Night.
		The band were students themselves at the time, and played the student's union and local clubs in the Reading area at the time.
		I was in the audience for this recording, in a underground pub with the band's equipment crammed in a tiny stage at one end of the long, narrow room.

		For information on the progressive rock band Twelfth Night see Twelfth Night (band) Twelfth night is a holiday marked by some branches of Christianity, marking the 12th and final night of the Christmas season, namely the eve before twelfth day or January 6, the Epiphany celebration to commemorate the adoration of the Magi.
		Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a comedy by William Shakespeare.
		Since it is difficult to see any allusion to Epiphany in the play, many suspect the play was written to be performed during Twelfth Night celebrations.

	Twelfth Night - Collectors Item
		The guitar sound is one of the hallmarks of the band and the bombasm of the keyboards is also very recognizably of this band.
		All in all the band combines all the best of Twelfth Night: easy going acoustic guitar, a very strong bass presence often used to replace the guitar, but also the sharp and typical guitar of Andy Revell.
		And this album is the gospel according to Twelfth Night, because Collectors Item is by far the best starting point from which you can start to explore the rest of their universe (for one, you need to find a recording of the missing Sequences).

	Twelfth Night - Art And Illusion
		The instrumental middle part is typically Twelfth Night, and the band still has not lost any of its punkish qualities, resulting in a combination of New Wave and symphonic rock.
		Noteworthy is the fact that Twelfth Night changed from an epic churner into a seemingly catchy affair, but that still the band to me is recognizably Twelfth Night.
		On the hand the band tries to evoke images of a pop band, but they are too heavy, too extreme (for that time).

	Twelfth Night - Live At The Target (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Twelfth Night was one of the bands who in the early eighties rekindled the flame of progressive music.
		The latter was written because the band felt they needed some original material to play as an encore, which became necessary with the rising of their popularity.
		If you're into Twelfth Night this album shows a very different perspective on the band, different from their most known material.

	Twelfth Night CDs
		Geoff Mann joined Twelfth Night in the summer of 1981 and his strong presence fronted the band until November 1983 when he left to pursue his own varied career.
		As with many of Twelfth Night's compositions from this period, the pace and mood changes throughout the number in sympathy with the intensely passionate vocal performance from the wonderful voice of Geoff Mann.
		The band's sound was rather like a cross of late seventies Pink Floyd and Ultravox, and I remember one journo using the term "Punk Floyd" to describe their music which seems pretty apt.

		TWELFTH NIGHT is probably one of the most unthreatening and reader/audience-friendly Shakespearean plays in its accessibility.
		The broad appeal of TWELFTH NIGHT as a good-humored play is sharpened by its comedy of mistaken identity between the long-lost twins Sabestian and Viola.
		TWELFTH NIGHT, OR, WHAT YOU WILL is probably the most polished comedy to come from the pen of William Shakespeare.

	Her Twelfth Night
		After arriving in town to visit their aunt and uncle, both Elizabeth and Edward were somewhat surprised to be included in an invitation to attend a Masquerade ball, a festivity of twelfth night, at the renowned Vaucluse Gardens.
		Masquerade balls were becoming increasingly popular among society, one could act how one pleased with little consequence to their reputation, and with the number of people in attendance it would be almost impossible for ones identity to be found out.
		Later that night Elizabeth shared all that had happened with her brother - letting him marvel at the ring and pleading with him not to tell their family what happened to her precious garnet cross.

	HOT NEW AOR/PROG/HARDROCK/METAL REVIEWS
		Especially the TWELFTH NIGHT fan will be pleased to hear there is about 30 minutes of material added and like I said before lots of pictures and notes can be found in the CD booklet.
		Without a doubt, the band was seen as a sort of AC/DC clone, but on the other hand their lead singer Angry Anderson had such a charisma, they were immediately popular among the Hardrock/.Metalfans, while also footballfans and motorbike drivers loved the band right away.
		The band’s final album ‘Beats from a single drum’ was released in 1986, and saw a more AOR direction (due to the producer Kevin Beamish of REO SPEEDWAGON fame), with the band even scoring a huge hitsingle in Australia.

	Theater \| Play on
		This Twelfth Night — which Arciniegas has staged, on Susan Zeeman Rogers’s ingenious set (a movable collage of Persian rugs), with a superb eye for composition — doesn’t shy from exposing the characters’ follies, including those of Sebastian’s rescuer, the sea captain Antonio (Eric Hamel), who suffers from an excess of bravado.
		Meanwhile, the two performers who maintain the balance between comedy and melancholy — crucial to any Twelfth Night — are Gardiner, as a roly-poly Feste whose tenderest ironies come out in his songs (wonderfully scored here by Haddon Kime), and Fischer as the countess, whose air of privilege deflates when she tumbles for Cesario.
		Fischer’s performance is a model of craftsmanship (precision and clarity): she uses a combination of the given circumstances and the language to shift emotional directions continually, sometimes in mid line.

	TWELFTH NIGHT Live at the Target reviews and MP3
		Although the harmonic structure of Twelfth Night's material is not complex, and the musicianship just slightly above the average metal band - with token atmospheric keyboards, what makes TN stand out is the attention to detail they give to the bigger picture.
		TWELFTH NIGHT played their music instrumental, the absolute highlight is the epic track “Sequences” (later performed with vocals from the late Geoff Mann) with lots of shifting moods and sensational guitar soli, goose bumps!
		Basically at this time in their existence TWELFTH NIGHT‘s sound most revolved around the spacey echoplex guitar work of Andy Revell and the keyboard laden drawls of Rich Battersby.

		The band used to have a keyboardplayer in their line-up, but he left the band and now lead singer Pasi Humppi takes over the keys, but like mentioned, this band is guitar orientated and so the keys are put far to the background, but for IRON WARE it really works well.
		The fact that the band already exists for 20 years is showing how comvinced this band is of their music style, because in all those years they have hold on to their roots and therefore the music has now reached an own identity for DARK QUARTERER, which is quite good.
		Also closing track “Saturday night” is a great cheesy and catchy 80s uptempo melodic rocker, but unfortunately the rest of the CD is not as classy and uptempo melodic rock based as the opening and closing track, but still a midtempo melodic rocker like “Power intentions” is pretty nice.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock TO-TW
		Townscream is a band fronted by the ex-After Crying keyboardist Csaba Vedres and their (apparently) only release Nagyvárosi Ikonok (Periferic Records BGCD011) is a minor masterpiece that, like After Crying's best work, mixes classical, chamber, symphonic, folk, even a dash of musique concrete with rock music, only in a streamlined and more urgent form.
		There are definitely some sections where some members of the band synchronize their playing for awhile, but it's pretty much every man for himself for much of the album.
		This is a new band, a power keyboard trio from Israel which has spent far more time in my CD player in the last few months than it needed to just for the sake of doing a review of it.

		Geoff eventually left the band and put out a number of solo albums in the late 80's, early 90's, but while experimental in many way, and mostly full of Christian themes, none of them were particularly progressive, except a concept-album collaboration with Clive Nolan of Pendragon called Casino, and a few songs here and there.
		The band is obviously having fun, and there is a tangible anointing on the show that will certainly move anyone that takes the time to absorb the music and the message.
		The band themselves lend their acoustic-progressive song from Lex Rex, Heroes and Dragons, which happens to be one of their better songs ever.

		The band puts out their records on their own label, Giant Electric Pea, and I have never seen a single GEP disc in a Boston store.
		Most serious IQ supporters, including the band themselves, seem to regard this period as an unfortunate digression, but these were the IQ albums I was first exposed to, and tempering epic prog ambition with pop forthrightness doesn't seem like a bad tactic, to me, so my affections for these two records retain a particular intensity.
		But some nights it seems to me like the tension between the two is all that ever holds us in place.
