Whoa baby! What a magnificent article! Right on Siobahn! Great quotes and I just wondered......could she be Frunella?! Wow, Alex, she even got one of your little stories in there about the threat of your tires being deflated for playing their music! Hope I'm remembering it correctly. Well, anyway, cheers for the band, great news. I'll send a copy to my local radio station so they can see what other countries think of our beloved band SPARKS! BRAVO!!!

interesting article, and it is interesting that the author is not too specific about the new album. I am sure he must have heard the opus.

looks like perfect timing for the article anyway to see when there will be more detail info about album and forthcoming release of it...

On the news page the end of the article is missing:

Justin Hawkin`s single, This Town..., is out now. The Sparks album, Hello Young Lovers, will be released later this year.

Hope the reason is not, that the album will not be released later this year...

Oh I really hope not Peter. I am already giving myself an ulcer with the anticipation of it all. Now that the end of the year is upon us, I couldn't bear for the goal posts to be moved again :-(

Great article. I especially liked the snidey comments toward Sir Elton.

It was me that was threatened with having my tyres deflated just for trying to introduce a workmate to Kimono my house. I haven't given up on trying to convert people quite yet, but then again I have started walking to work!
