Right, so who's going when?
I've been asked to review one of the first few shows of Sparks' insane
21-night, one-album-per-gig London residency, and I picked next Wednesday, cos that's when they're playing Indiscreet, which is one of my personal favourites: it's the Weimar/Charleston-influenced one from 1975 which pretty much spelt commercial suicide at the time, ending their brief spell as glam-pop pin-ups, but it's a masterpiece (and, I suspect, a big influence on people like The Dresden Dolls).
I'll try to go along to some of the others, later in the run, but I've got to be realistic about the fact that I live in Brighton now and I can't afford the train fares. But if I just get to see Indiscreet, I'll still be pretty happy.
Who else is going, and which nights?
