60s rock and pop band Sparks have announced a special one-off performance in London's Bush Hall for this June which will see them performing reworked versions of their old classics.
For the first time, Ron and Russell Mael will play an entire concert as a duo using just voice and keyboards, a typically bold and unexpected move from the American brothers. The extraordinary performance will see them de-construct and reinterpret songs from their own extensive and unique catalogue which stretches back to 1968.
Having inspired musicians and delighted fans throughout the years with their exceptional songwriting and inimitable style, Sparks live shows have become increasingly spectacular - in 2008 they performed all 21 albums in 21 nights in London and in 2011 their 22nd opus, 'The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman', was performed as a live musical at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Now, forty years on from the release of their self-titled debut album in 1972, they will present a selection of Sparks songs in their purest form. Stripping away the often lavish production, fans will rediscover the essence of Sparks - the whipsmart, penetrating lyrics, those incomparable melodies, and of course, Russell's vocals and Ron's keyboards.
