SPARKS – TWO HANDS, ONE MOUTH TOUR – AUTUMN 2012

Having announced an intimate show on June 13th at London’s Bush Hall, which sold out instantly, Sparks now announce an extraordinary tour that will see them deconstruct and reinterpret songs from their own extensive and unique catalogue.

The autumn tour will take in countries around the world and Russell and Ron Mael have revealed the UK dates today. Starting in Edinburgh on 21st October the brothers will visit Manchester, Birmingham and Brighton before the final UK show at The Barbican on October 26th.

21st October – hmv Picture House, Edinburgh. hmvpicturehouse.com Tickets £20
22nd October – hmv Ritz, Manchester. hmvritz.com Tickets £20
23rd October – hmv Institute, Birmingham. hmvinstitute.com Tickets £18.50
25th October – Concert Hall, Brighton Dome. brightondome.org Tickets £20
26th October – The Barbican, London. barbican.org.uk Tickets £27.50 / £24 / £20

Tickets for all shows are available from seetickets.com 08700 603 777

For the first time, Ron and Russell Mael will play an entire tour as a duo using just voice and keyboards, a typically bold and unexpected move. Having inspired musicians and delighted fans throughout the years with their extraordinary 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 since 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 we will rediscover the essence of Sparks - the whipsmart, penetrating lyrics, those incomparable melodies – Russell's vocals and Ron's keyboards coming to the fore. All that's needed.
