join Simon London + the Spirits for the first show of the tour:
After a short break, great southern singer-songwriter Simon London is hitting the road again with his band Simon London + the Spirits to launch their latest single ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’, the title track from their latest album.
The album – with glowing reviews from critics – has re-established Simon London + the Spirits as a standout south-coast act, producing premier music and renowned for their powerful live shows.
The new single – a picaresque montage of shared tour stories and band life laid over a catchy blues groove and earworm chorus – drills right to the heart of the album’s theme; but this time squaring up to loss in a more piss-take than woe kind of way.
Deliberately alluding to that giant Simple Minds song (think Judd Nelson, the Breakfast Club and general high school delinquency), Don’t You Forget About Me turns loss on its head, as a nostalgic celebration of the great, the not-so-great and the tragicomic life shared between two creative mates over a couple of decades of touring.
Recently reformed in late 2021 after a long spell, Simon London + the Spirits haven’t wasted any time, pushing out their fourth album and hitting the road through WA. Big sweeping soundscapes, soaring melodies, intimate and compelling song writing; the new line-up has a chemistry all of its own.
While the Spirits’ three musicians are ever servants of the song – whether it be beautiful ambience, driving rock or gritty blues – the band don’t fit neatly into genres but instead let the song and the moment take them and you, where it will. While the new album has been enjoying some national airplay, it’s really only on the live stage where the power of this three-piece can truly be reckoned.
Be there when Simon London + the Spirits kick off the first date of their WA tour..
