Paolo Nutini stopped by Twist & Shout for a free preview of his show at the Ogden last night. The kid's only 20 but sounds like he's got a couple more decades of sucking down ciggies in him. Twist & Shout pushed aside a couple racks of records to make room for fans, who patiently waited for Paolo and the band (their van was late). Things started with "Alloway Grove." He played his radio-friendly single "New Shoes" of course. He also played a livelier, more upbeat version of the ballad "Rewind," which was great and danceable. They also played "Jenny Don't Be Hasty." Then Paolo stuck around to sign stuff while the rest of the band wandered around. A video camera crew recorded it all, so keep an eye out for yourself. Anyway, Paolo Nutini is blowing up FAST: sold out shows in the UK and it's getting there in the states, so watch him while he's still doing these free record-shop gigs on the side and you can still buy tickets to his shows.
