Michael Spiby plays The Badloves

The flying saucer club are proud to announce that The Badloves frontman, Michael Spiby, will be performing songs back to back from the band’s debut album, Get On Board. Joining Michael on stage will be fellow band members Tony Featherstone, set to work his magic on the keyboards and the original Badloves bass player Stephen “Irish” O’Prey. It’s been 21 years since he’s played with them so it’s quite a momentous occasion. Also it has just been announced that both shows will be recorded with a view to releasing a Live CD further down the track. After spending 69 weeks in the charts, you’re not going to want to miss seeing this album live, so get your tickets now!

The badloves had a double platinum debut album, (featuring the singles Lost, I Remember, Green Limousine and Memphis), won three ARIA Awards, toured Australia with Lenny Kravitz, had The Seekers’ legend Judith Durham drop into a recording session, toured Europe with Jimmy Barnes, and fontman Michael has had a backstage meeting with one of his heroes, Ray Charles.

The Badloves released just two studio albums– 1993’s Get On Board (which spent 69 weeks on the charts, peaking at number five) and 1995’s Holy Roadside (which went gold and reached number 14). The very first song that Michael wrote, Streets Of My Town, later appeared on his first solo album, 2000’s ARIA-nominated Ho’s Kitchen. “I had lots of songs half-finished, but that was the first time I felt that’s a song, it’s about something.” Michael Spiby continues to search for meaning in his music, relishing the joy of creation. It’s an exciting time for one of Australia’s finest singers and songwriters.
