Twisted by Design is the longest running indie club night in Cardiff having recently celebrated its 25th anniversary a few months agoHowever, 25 years seems a good time to bow out of the indie scene, and so there will be one last live Twisted by Design on bank holiday weekend, Sunday 24th August downstairs at Clwb Ifor Bach.
Doors at 10pm and you’ll want to get there early so you don’t miss any of the excitement planned for the night.

In 2008, Twisted released a 22 band compilation highlighting Cardiff bands including The Loves, Sweet Baboo, Threatmantics, The Wave Pictures and Los Campesinos!
