A historical perspective

The Smiths Indeed were formed in Liverpool in 2005, after a deceptively placed advertisement [SINGER NEEDED TO FRONT SMITHS COVER BAND. MUST BE TALENTED. GIGS WAITING.] caught the eye of an ambitious aficionado. The band consists of Smiths devotees and outstanding musicians. Their trump card is a singer with uncannily similar vocal chords to Morrissey's. In a relatively short space of time, The Smiths Indeed have emerged as a fantastic live act, aiming to capture the essence of a mid-1980s Smiths concert. And flailing.

The Smiths Indeed offer a fantastic night of nostalgia for those who remember those distant days in the mid-1980s when The Smiths lit up the world of popular music. For those who weren't even born then or were otherwise engaged, they offer a great opportunity to witness what it might have been like to see The Smiths live. After all, a Smiths Indeed show is meant to be a celebration of The Smiths. Apportez vos fleurs.

 

Five seconds to spare (some recommended The Smiths links):

• Passions Just Like Mine - Just the fax. Releases, appearances, words. Excellent.
• The Smiths File Online - "a thorough summary of the extensive coverage the band received in the music press from 1983-1987." A veritable treasure trove.
• 'Smiths Indeed' (1986-1989) - Legendary Smiths fanzine 'Smiths Indeed' is available again. All 12 issues of the 1980s fanzine were reprinted in 2006 - the first time they have been available for 20 years.
