Sparks at Fonda Theatre, Los Angeles (11/11/13)

Setlist

Sparks are a new wave/glam band from Los Angeles, lead by two brothers: Ron and Russell Mael. The Los Angeles duo influenced everyone from Nirvana to New Order to They Might Be Giants.
It’s pretty amazing that the band, having formed in 1968, is still around, and relatively active in their music output. Earlier this year, they released Two Hands, One Mouth: Live In Europe (released March 18, 2013) and, just recently, a box set called New Music For Amnesiacs (released October 21, 2013).
Anyway, Sparks’ “Revenge of Two Hands One Mouth Tour 2013” (the followup tour to their 2012’s Two Hands One Mouth tour) just wrapped up their U.S. appearance last night, November 11th, at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. According to online reports, apparently Morrissey was at this show.

Details from Morrissey-solo:
“… We sat about 8pm in second row of center… at around 8:40 with entourage of 4 comes M– and is seated at a RESERVED section RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!! Some fans – (maybe 4) took photos but security was letting them know M wanted to enjoy the show. He left midway during Sparks medley from “The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman”…”
