Spandau Ballet touring Australia in April

Monday 25 January 2010 @ 11:45 pm

Iconic band (weren’t they all?) Spandau Ballet have reformed and will be touring Australia in April this year – their first visit to Oz since 1985.

The original line up will be there with Tony Hadley and Gary Kemp sharing the stage again so it will be a real blast from the past. Last October they played to over 100 000 people in the UK and from what I read, that was more tickets sold to a single concert than back in the 80s when they were so popular.

What makes the tour even better is that they are being supported by Tears For Fears.

Tour Dates and Venues (and for some reason Sydney misses out!) are:

Sat 17 April – Sandalford Winery, Caversham Perth
Mon 19 April – Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Wed 21 April – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
Tue 27 April – Brisbane Entertainment Centre




80s Video Game Sweaters

Found the following pics on a website where the blogger’s mother knitted some sweaters based on arcade games of the 80s.

I’m not sure if I’d wear them today, but they are a great time warp back to the decade that mattered :-)
