Pop Rock Factory - January 2010

Spandau Ballet - Touring Downunder

January 20th 2010 06:09
Spandau Ballet
The first time that most Londoners heard the words Spandau Ballet was on the London Weekend Television arts programme Twentieth Century Box, in May 1980.

Presented by Danny Baker, Twentieth Century Box was the place you went to for your youth culture fix.

Initially inspired by the New Romantic fashion, their music has featured a mixture of funk, jazz, soul and synthpop.


While never a fan, even I have to admit they were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s, achieving 10 Top Ten singles and four Top Ten albums in the UK between 1980 and 1990.

The band split acrimoniously in 1990 but announced their reunion in March 2009, complete with a tour that began in October 2009 and now comes to Sydney in April as part of their first Australian tour in 25 years.

Folks, all we need now is for the reformation of a Flock of Seagulls, Bucks Fizz and Haysi Fantayzee and we have the set . . .

Everyone seems to be rising from the dead. I think it is because CDs just don't make the money they used to

Yet we still pay exorbitant 'hard earned' to see these guys in concert - go figure . . .

Mind you - guilty as charged - off to see the Beach Boys in February - do'h
