Last year, Sparks set out on their ‘Two Hands, One Mouth’ tour, eschewing all the intricacies of their full band set-up and relying solely on Ron Mael’s keyboards and his brother Russell’s vocals. Now, they’ve announced that they’ll be bringing that show back, with the tour called, naturally, ‘The Revenge Of Two Hands, One Mouth’.
Say the Maels: "Having been so moved by the overwhelming reaction and support throughout Europe to our ‘Two Hands, One Mouth’ tour last October, we have decided to do one more go-round in the duo format, ‘The Revenge Of Two Hands, One Mouth’.
"For those who saw the tour in its first incarnation, we promise to keep the intensity up, the two-hands, one-mouthiness up, the no-computeriness up, and also perform a bunch of tunes not played on the original tour. Â
"For all virgins, please enjoy for the first time our two hands and one mouth."
