ROLLING STONE “When (Steve)
Norman stepped up front to blow his scripted sax break in “True,” the
crowd received it with the kind of shouts and applause New Yorkers
always gave Clarence Clemons when he took his thundering-tenor spotlight
in Madison Square Garden for Bruce Springsteen’s “Jungleland.” The
ecstasy in the Albert Hall was that kind of loud.”
MARK
KERMODE “Despite having never understood the appeal of the New
Romantics, I enjoyed the hell out of SOUL BOYS OF THE WESTERN WORLD.
Gold!
13th October 2014. Hot on the heels of scoring
the number 2 grossing film in the country with the critically lauded
‘Soulboys Of The Western World’ Spandau Ballet announce their live
return, a twelve-date arena tour for March 2015.
Returning
to touring for the first time since their 2009 Reformation tour which
saw the band finally reunited, they are once again the hottest band in
the UK.
Last
week, the band premiered ‘Soulboys Of The Western World’ to a sold out
Royal Albert Hall and reunited on stage in the UK for the first time
since 2010 performing some of their anthems, which were a soundtrack to a
generation. This unique event was beamed by satellite to 100’s of
cinemas across the UK and Eire as the band returned to the Royal Albert
Hall for the first time since the week True was released in April 1983.
Critics from the UK’s broadsheets to USA’s Rolling Stone were united in their acclaim.
Today
also sees the release of ‘The Story, The Very Best of Spandau Ballet’
featuring all of the greatest hits plus three new songs produced by
legendary record producer Trevor Horn including the radio smash ‘This Is
The Love’ and the forthcoming single ‘Steal’.
Tomorrow
night (Tuesday the 14th) the band has a very special one-hour ITV 1
special entitled ‘Spandau Ballet True Gold’. Hosted by Christine
Bleakley the show sees the band talk very candidly about their career
and perform some of their greatest hits.
Spandau
Ballet are one of Britain’s great iconic bands having sold over 25
million records, scored numerous multi-platinum albums and amassed 23
hit singles across the globe since their humble beginnings as a group of
friends with dreams of stardom in the late 1970s. It wasn’t long before
they became fully-fledged members of the iconic Blitz Club scene and
established themselves as one of the super-groups of the 80s. After two
decades apart, the band reformed in 2009, embarking on a sold-out tour.
SOUL BOYS OF THE WESTERN WORLD marks the first time their story has been
documented on film.
