Saw them '85 in Montreal on the Perfect Strangers tour. They rocked loud! John Lord and Ritchie Blackmore did an organ/guitar thing for a good ten minutes that blew everyone away. Too bad I can’t make it to this one…
You can get tickets for Tears for Fears and Kelly Clarkson from Islandjam Tickets, all the tickets are will call so you just fill out the form that you download and pay at the bank. Pick up your tickets at the door of the concert.
I am not sure if i want to see Kelly but maybe Tears for Fears.
I would have loved to have seen the Perfect Strangers tour. Absolutely loved that album. Unfortunately Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore are not part of this tour coming to Taiwan. The three other members of what’s called the classic DP lineup are though, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice. Steve Morse will be the guitarist, he’s filled in before. I forget who is playing keyboards.
Did I just see the Pet Shop Boys coming to Taiwan? Seems there is going to be some kind of event, Twinkle Rock Festival -who got that name?- and they’ll be there.
It’s Ian Brown from the Stone Roses. He’ll be here on July 30th.
So far, that event is:
Kula Shaker on the 27th (Legacy).
Massive Attack on the 28th (Nangang).
Pet Shop Boys on the 29th (Nangang).
And Ian Brown on the 30th (Legacy).
Broken Social Scene is also at Legacy on the 25th.
Divea is right: Natalie Cole is here June 16th.
Lastly, Luxy is bringing Usher to Nangang on July 4th.
Great to see so many things going on in the music scene lately and some promoters that seem committed to getting international acts over.
You can get tickets for Massive Attack and Pet Shop Boys from Islandjam Tickets at a 10% discount. Islandjam Ticket Outlet are at Toasteria(all branches), Sababa, Kooks in Danshui and a few other places.
