London Shepherds Bush Empire
Friday June 13th World Premier of Sparks' 21st Album

... and Helsinki next monday.

Amazing run of shows From Amazing band . Caught two shows. Propaganda and lil Beethoven ... Mr Normal have a great time .

I love Sparks. (Especially the Moroder Period. Heaven, and Clock, etc..) That would have been a cool concert..)

Did Ron do the "extending arms" gag? (the bit where his hands keep playing as he slides his stool five feet backwards).

Did he have his "RONALD" (not ROLAND) logo on the front of his keyboard.

Subtle, but cool.

Mr Normal is it you in the Sparks London Forum DVD on the soundcheck section?

Yep, that's me. My 6 seconds of fame .

The 'every album' tour is a great idea. Any chance of Bowie starting a five year tour soon!

SPARKS in Helsinki.

No artist meeting this time (apart from quick signing by Ron sitting in a car). See pictures here

Great pictures...thanks for the link

Love loads of your pics, Mr N.

By the way, anyone else got an opinion on the new Sparks album, 'Exotic Creatures Of The Deep'? For the first couple of plays I thought it was an inferior non-progression from 'Hello Young Lovers'. But now I like it, the production is taut and songs that initially sound over simplistic and sonically unimaginative reveal themselves to be more developed than first meets the ear.
