One of the after-show highlights of recent years, Two Door Cinema Club previewed their stellar Lolla set on Sunday with a Metro show on Saturday that was sold out to the rafters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two Door\u2019s style has always played at the fringes of genre\u2014danceable and almost frantic at times, bordering on punk rhythms, but always firmly rooted in melody and the unique underpinnings of vocalist\/guitarist Alex Trimble, who, throughout the band\u2019s discography, has found ways to weave intricate lyrical patterns into the band\u2019s arrangements.  That the style translates to the live setting so well is a testament to how tight the Two Door\u2019s touring lineup really is.  In addition to Trimble and regular bandmates Kevin Baird (bass\/synth) and Sam Halliday (lead guitar), drummer Ben Thompson is one of the tightest drummers out there, and his bombastic precision gave the band\u2019s performances of tracks like the jumpy \u201cDo You Want It All\u201d and \u201cWonderful Life,\u201d while \u201cNext Year\u201d and \u201cSleep Alone\u201d had the crowd singing along like the band\u2019s Lolla set had already arrived, new single \u201cHappy Customers\u201d drew rapturous energy from the whole of the Metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
