Sparks are more relevant than ever. After more than fifty years of career, Californian brothers Ron and Russell Mael are once again firmly in the spotlight as the ultimate cult band that continues to inspire generations. With their unique blend of sharp-witted lyrics, staccato synth lines and flamboyant vocals, they have followed their own uncompromising path for decades, navigating glam, art rock, synthpop and everything in between.
From their iconic breakthrough with This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us to recent, internationally acclaimed albums such as The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte, Sparks continue to surprise and innovate. Their influence on pop music can hardly be overstated and resonates with countless artists, from Joy Division to Björk. Live, Sparks are an experience: tight, theatrical and irresistibly idiosyncratic. A concert like a sharply cut pop opera, full of humor, drama and bravado.
