Two Door Cinema Club – Handshake

Northern Irish group lose their heads...

So that was Alexandra Palace.

One of London's most historic venues, only a few bands earn the right, the privilege to tread the boards at Ally Pally. Notching up larger and larger shows, Two Door Cinema Club decided to attempt something different and booked a one off show at Alexandra Palace.

Announced some six months ago, demand for tickets was overwhelming. Selling out weeks in advance, Two Door Cinema Club hopped out onstage on Saturday night (April 27th) to a hero's welcome.

Expect a full report on ClashMusic shortly, but until then we've got their new video. Directed by Sam Piling, the clip was premiered on MTV but was almost immediately banned by the channel.

Featuring some gruesome moments, there's a comedy element here in line with Sam Raimi's work. Beheaded, Two Door Cinema Club's noggins are used as bowling balls…

Watch it now.
