Since storming into the charts, minds and airwaves in 1974 with This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us, Sparks – brothers Ron and Russell Mael - have been at the cutting edge of pop, creating new musical genres and inspiring generations of musicians.
The influence of “your favourite band's favourite band” – stars of Edgar Wright’s 2021 film The Sparks Brothers and writers of the multi-award-winning movie musical Annette - has been recognised by successive generations of artists from Joy Division and Squeeze to Depeche Mode, Björk and Beck, to The Last Dinner Party and beyond. Their impact on music cannot be overstated - as super-producer Jack Antonoff declared “all pop music is re-arranged Sparks”.
Now, the Mael brothers and their band will return to Brisbane for a spellbinding live performance on the Glasshouse Theatre stage.
