Silverstein, the Canadian emo/screamo band, kicked off its fall tour August 25 in Arizona with a new feature on the tour: a spinning wheel.
About 2/3rds of the way into the show, a band member or crew spins a giant wheel containing the title of a dozen of the group’s tunes. As game show music plays, the wheel goes round and round and when it lands on a song, that’s what gets rocked out. After the song is over, they repeat the process two more times.
On the 25th at the Marquee Theater the spinning wheel tunes were “Already Dead,” “Stand Amid the Roar,” and “Massachusetts.”
Utilizing a giant wheel to add excitement to a setlist is not new. Way back in 1986, Elvis Costello introduced a giant wheel with scores of original and cover tunes.
