Wish I had picked up their new album Hippopotamus earlier, but, tonight's show will be my introduction to their newest songs. I've only seen them once before, at that show they did complete album performances of Kimono My House and their current Exotic Creatures of the Deep, plus an encore of hits through the years. That show was remarkable & I'm hoping toinight's will be as well.
They have rarely played LA with a full band in recent years - often it's just the two brothers plus a drummer - so I'm pretty thrilled.
Seen em recently? Long ago? In your dreams?

Re: Tonight I will go and see Sparks
Saw them last year in Newcastle (UK).
A very Hippopotamus heavy set but that was not a bad thing as I think it’s a cracking album.
The band were tight and well drilled. A great night, I hope you enjoy them.

I was at the same gig and they were absolutely fucking stellar.
Have fun!

Four or five years ago, playing as a duo as I recall. I don't even remember if they had a drummer now. They sounded good, though. They seemed really gratified by the rapturous ovation they got.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

How was it Bobzilla? Edgar Wright has been tweeting in advance that the shows are going to be 'weird' and not to be missed - anything special happen? special guests?
