One of the great bands of the past 25 years,
Simple Minds are set to rock Fort Canning Park on April 30, 2006! |
|
Jim Kerr and co-founder Charlie Burchill are
back with a critically acclaimed new album and World Tour that is
selling out where ever they go. |
|
In an epic lifespan of 25 years and total
worldwide album sales of 30 million, Simple Minds have come a long way
from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland. |
|
One of the few British rock bands that truly
made the American stadium A-list, they were the band whose Live Aid
appearance in Philadelphia in 1985 was introduced by Jack Nicholson and
the band who saw an incredible 5 albums enter the UK charts at No.1 |
|
From records that set the album rock agenda
of the 1980¡¯s such as ¡®New Gold Dream¡¯, Sparkle In The Rain¡¯ and ¡®Once
Upon A Time¡¯ came anthems like ¡®Don¡¯t You (Forget About Me)¡¯ and ¡®Alive
and Kicking¡¯ which have stirred audiences by the tens of thousands. |
|
Further career landmarks take in the
widescreen celtic melancholy of their 1989 No.1 ¡®Belfast Child¡¯, a bold
and timeless excursion that outran the bubblegum pop of the day to the
top of the charts. |
|
From their beginnings as a raw, glammed-up New Wave
band in 1977 to the complex Alternative Rock of ¡°Black & White¡±, Simple Minds
have maintained a dramatic flair and a deep complexity in their constantly
changing sound. Jim Kerr's vocals leap effortlessly from raw Punk raspiness to
urgent emotional release while the rest of the band pits guitar distortion
against saxophone leads and vaulting Gospel vocals against bubbling Synth Pop
keyboards. |
|
Simple Minds' daring approach to the
shifting sounds of the times has always raised the stakes for
others. Don¡¯t miss Simple Minds when they make their first ever
appearance in Singapore at Fort Canning Park on April 30th, 2006. |
