There’s this moment every band waits for—when the stars line up and something big drops out of the sky. For us, that moment came with a single message: “You’re opening for Strawberry Alarm Clock at Whisky A Go Go.”
It didn’t feel real at first. Then it hit. One of the most iconic psychedelic rock bands in history. One of the most legendary venues in Los Angeles. And TWOFEW right there in the mix.
What’s more, the date? February 28, 2026—a Saturday night set in Hollywood. The energy? Already electric. And we haven’t even hit soundcheck.
The Venue: Where Legends Are Born
If you’ve never been to Whisky A Go Go, it’s not just a music venue—it’s a pilgrimage site. You walk through those doors and you’re stepping into decades of rock history. The Doors. Led Zeppelin. Janis Joplin. Guns N’ Roses. Nirvana. And now?
TWOFEW.
We’ve played a lot of rooms in a lot of cities, but this one’s different. It’s not just the history—it’s the spirit. Every inch of that space breathes music. The energy on that stage is like nothing else. And come February, we’re bringing our full force.
Sharing the Stage With Psychedelic Royalty
Strawberry Alarm Clock isn’t just a band—they’re a time capsule of everything cool about the 1960s and 70s. Known for their #1 hit “Incense and Peppermints,” they helped define the psychedelic era with their swirling melodies and kaleidoscope vibes.
They’ve influenced generations of musicians, and they’re still out there doing it live—vibrant as ever. So yeah, opening for them? It’s not just an honor—it’s a full-circle moment.
We’re not just fans. We’re students of their sound. And on February 28th, we get to share the stage, fire up the amps, and take that crowd on a ride that blends the old school with everything we’ve got boiling in the present.
Meet the New Guy: Kyle Norwood on Drums
If you're coming to the show (and you should be), you’re gonna witness something fresh. This will be the first official live show with our brand new drummer, Kyle Norwood.
Kyle isn’t just good—he’s ridiculous. The kind of drummer who hears music in shapes and patterns, who plays with both feel and fire. We’ve been working with him behind the scenes, running rehearsals, reworking parts, and getting tight. Real tight.
This show will be his big debut, and it’s not some low-key entry. This is Whisky A Go Go. This is opening for Strawberry Alarm Clock. He’s diving straight into the deep end—and trust us, he’s more than ready.
If you’ve ever seen us live, you know our shows don’t run on autopilot. Every performance is alive, and the drummer’s heartbeat runs the whole thing. Kyle’s got the chops, the instincts, and the raw edge that fits right into the TWOFEW DNA.
We’re proud to have him. And we can’t wait for you to hear what he brings to the table.
A Double Birthday Bash on Stage
Now let’s talk about the other layer to this night. Because it’s not just a show—it’s a celebration.
February 27th happens to be the birthday of our bassist, Danielle Lazar. And the weekend after?
It’s Michael’s birthday too (a few days later on March 5th). That’s right. We’re rolling deep into Double Birthday Weekend, and there’s no better way to do it than under the lights of LA’s most famous rock venue.
It’s not every day you get to celebrate a birthday on stage. But doing it at Whisky? With Strawberry Alarm Clock? With the full TWOFEW family in tow? That’s what you call a dream weekend.
There will be stories. There will be surprises. And if you’ve been following us for a while, you know we don't just play shows—we create nights to remember.
This Is More Than Just Another Gig
Let’s be real—every show matters. Every crowd, every city, every stage has its own magic. But some shows live on in a different way. They become chapters in your band’s history.
This one? It’s one of those chapters.
New drummer. Two birthdays. A legendary stage. A band we grew up admiring. It’s everything you dream of when you’re grinding through late-night rehearsals and long drives from gig to gig.
We’ve worked our asses off for this. And we’re ready.
LA — We're Coming for You
To our friends, fans, and family in Los Angeles: mark your calendars now. February 28, 2026. Whisky A Go Go. This is going to be one for the books.
We’ll bring the noise. We’ll bring the stories. We’ll bring the heart and soul that defines everything TWOFEW stands for. All we need is you in that crowd.
Ticket info and set times are coming soon, and you’ll be the first to know when they drop. But for now? Make plans. Book flights. Rally the crew.
You won’t want to miss this.
So... What Can You Expect?
We won’t spoil the whole thing, but let’s just say the setlist’s already getting spicy. We’re mixing up some old favorites, bringing in newer cuts, and working on a few live-only surprises for the crowd.
We’re tightening every transition, locking in harmonies, dialing in tones. This isn't some standard 30-minute opener set. We're going all in.
If you’ve never seen us before, this is the one to come to. If you've seen us ten times? Make it eleven. The energy we’re building for this one is different.
We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves. New dynamics. New visuals. A fresh spark that comes from leveling up and stepping into the unknown.
More Than a Band — A Movement
At its core, TWOFEW has always been about more than just music. We're about connection. Shared experiences. The feeling you get when lyrics hit a little too close to home or when a chorus lifts you right off the floor.
And a night like this—where history, celebration, and evolution all collide—is exactly why we do what we do.
So whether you’re a diehard fan or just discovering us now, this show is an open invite. Come stand in the front row. Sing with us. Sweat with us. Celebrate with us. Make memories you’ll still be talking about five years from now.
Final Thoughts Before the Curtain Rises
As February draws closer, we’re doubling down. Rehearsals are heating up. Arrangements are getting sharper. The adrenaline’s already kicking in.
But through all the planning and prep, we’re staying grounded in what matters most—the music, the people, and the moment.
We’re stepping into this show with gratitude. With fire. And with a whole lot of excitement. Because moments like this don’t come often—and when they do, you give ‘em everything you’ve got.
We’ll see you in LA.
Get ready. This is gonna be wild.'
