New York, NY (Top40 Charts) "Perhaps you've only grown up when you can bear not being understood." - Marian Gold
LA Concert Group proudly announces that international sensation
Alphaville will be visiting USA in August for a five city tour from August 4th to August 12th of 2017!
The German synth/pop icon exploded onto America's music scene in the 1980s. Lead singer Marian Gold's smooth falsetto voice, combined with the band's driving beats and synth backing made Alphaville's music a staple of the time. Their classics will be forever synonymous with the greatness of the 80's, and decades later their music is as electric as ever. Several of their singles have topped the US charts, including: "Big in Japan," "Jet Set," "Dance With Me," and "Universal Daddy," and of course "Forever Young."
More than just a nostalgia band,
Alphaville has proven to be adaptable with their 2010 album Catching Rays on a Giant, and their newly released album Strange Attractor. Their entire discography spans an impressive seven albums, and their latest album, Strange Attractor, was released in early April of 2017. This newest album includes the new single "Heartbreak City," and presents a sound that may differ from what
Alphaville fans have come to expect - it is darker than its predecessors, and while still keeping to its roots of their synth sound, has a deeper feel, with a more ethereal-rock edge. Influenced largely by traumatic events of recent years, Strange Attractor showcases a band that who has grown and matured through the years, exploring new territories while staying true to their origins.
Front man, vocalist, composer, and founder Marian Gold has been with the band since its inception, and is joined on stage now by keyboardist Carsten Brocker, drummer Jakob Kiersch, bassist
Alexandra Merl, and guitarist Dave Goodes. Together they will present an electrifying evening of music that is sure to be remembered.
