In over 50 years, the Sparks' career has epitomized what appears to be the longest-running and enduring interaction between the two brothers in entire pop music. The core of the band consists of songwriter and keyboardist Ron Mael and soloist/frontman Russell Mael. In both dress and manners always emphatically serious Ron with his “brand-name” deadpan scowling goes extreme opposite to flamboyant and hyperactively energetic brother Russell. Ron Mael's intricate and rhythmic keyboard playing style and Russell's wide range voice, which easily soars at the height of an operatic falsetto, have become the hallmark of Sparks. And, of course intellectually sophisticated and acerbic lyrics, often about women or Shakespearean literature references.
But most importantly, despite such a long career, the brothers' tandem is still all-round productive, continuing to create innovative and at the same time relevant musical material, keeping the bar high for intellectual and stylish pop music.
However, in the 90s, the brothers find themselves in a kind of creative crossroads, and as a result, only two albums were released during the entire decade. 1994 was marked by the sensational album "Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins", which was brought to us by When Do I Get to Sing "My Way" - another mega-hit, without which the setlist of Sparks is simply unimaginable now. And "Plagiarism" (1997) - an album of cover versions of their own songs, created in collaboration with "Faith No More", "Erasure" and Jimmy Somerville.
And after a creative search in the 90's, in this century seems the tandem of brothers have found their path again and now confidently followed it.
In 2002 they presented the stylistically amazing album "Lil' Beethoven", in which the synthesizer simulates the sound of a string orchestra and choir, and it is complemented by rhythmic and verbal experiments. Their other creative facet is marked by the musical "Seduction of Ingmar Bergman" (2009) commissioned by Swedish radio. And then in 2015 the music world was introduced with the fruit of the collaboration between Sparks and Scottish alternative rockers “Franz Ferdinand” - the supergroup “FFS” - who released self-titled album and gave a series of well-sold concerts on both sides of the Atlantic.
While all that mentioned above, Sparks managed to cerate and release also several well-received studio albums: “Hello Young Lovers” (2006), “Hippopotamus” (2017) and last year's “A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip”.
In total, Sparks have recorded 24 studio albums, 1 live and 1 album in collaboration with "Franz Ferdinand" (as FFS).
Spectators to the Riga concert will have the opportunity to enjoy the Sparks performance with full band. And you will be amazed how attractive and elegant Russell and Ron Maels still are!
