Andy Bell of Erasure: Ten Crowns Tour

When you reach a milestone in your life, what’s the best way to mark it? By embracing it, glorying in it – crowning it, in fact – with an album of euphoric songs produced and polished in Nashville, of course!
The name of Andy Bell’s third solo album, Ten Crowns – like its cover art, featuring his head on a glistening gold coin – is making Andy smile today: “It sounds like a pub!”, he jokes. But behind that title lies ten songs of dazzling, joyous pop, inspired by the dancefloor and gospel, completed in the year he turned 60.
The name also refers to the tarot, he says: “The ten crowns on the tree of life, which is a very powerful card to have. And I’d just got my crowns on my teeth done in Miami when I was trying to think about a title!”, he laughs.
After Erasure’s last two fabulous albums – 2020’s The Neon and its 2021 companion piece Day-Glo (Based On A True Story), full of fascinating experimental reconstructions of The Neon’s tracks – Bell threw himself into writing with Dave Audé, a producer with whom he’s been close for over a decade. Dave met Andy while DJing at a club in 2010 run by a mutual friend, Stephen Moss, who became Andy’s partner and husband (Stephen and Andy live together in London and Atlanta).
Working with someone who is not Vince Clarke introduces a new set of dynamics, Andy says – although Erasure fans should know that forty years on, they are still going strong and recently reunited to begin work on the next Erasure album. “I still love working with Vince, but when you’re writing with another person, it’s like the same feeling as going to another country or moving to America. You can just invent who you are, become a brand new person.”
Andy and Dave have already released two US dance chart number ones together: 2014’s ‘Aftermath (Here We Go)’ and 2016’s ‘True Original’, the latter arriving in the same year that Dave won a Grammy for his remix of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk’. After those dance tracks, the pair “just kind of carried on writing as an exercise”, Andy explains, “and after that, Dave moved his family to Nashville because LA was so expensive, and so our writing took this kind of gospel-tinged Nashville twist.”
He describes how in Nashville there’s a church on every corner (“it reminded me of singing in choirs and cathedral school as a child, where the spirit of the church is imbued in the music”). Not that Ten Crowns is a sombre, spiritual set. It’s propulsive, electronic, passionate, driven by the need to encounter new emotions and experiences as life races on. “I mean, I’ve got everything I could possibly wish for, you know, I really have, but that’s not to say I’m always fulfilled,” Andy adds. “This album’s about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, embracing life – and about taking that feeling on even when you’re fighting demons in the world, like homophobia, and fighting demons in yourself. It’s about being celebratory and uplifting.”
Ten Crowns also features Andy’s ultimate pop heroine – one he sang about on a track back in 2010, ‘DHDQ’, and now sings alongside on the yearningly wistful ‘Heart’s A Liar.’ “To have Debbie Harry singing with me – you know, I still can’t quite believe it.” He’s known Blondie for years, he explains, and they have always been kind to him, inviting him backstage at their gigs, Chris Stein giving him hugs, Debbie “sitting in the corner, teasing me… she knows how much of a fan I am of the band”
Debbie’s an inspiration to Andy in other ways, too – although he hasn’t got the energy to emulate her, he laughs. “I mean she’s eighty this year and one minute she’s in Australia, the next she’s at Paris Fashion Week. Bloody hell!” The song is Andy’s rewrite of a track by English-Italian singer-songwriter and regular Dave Audé collaborator Luciana, which Andy imagines being about two lovers being no good for each other. “Debbie gives it this gravitas and this coquettishness, but she’s still very in command. And she recorded her vocals in the studio on Gay Pride, which I thought when I heard it, oh, trust her!”
Ten Crowns begins, however, with a cosmic flash. ‘Breaking Thru The Interstellar’ sees Andy dance us “towards another paradise…ready for a new dimension / On our galactic journey”. Inspired by Andy’s love of reading BBC science magazines, and the possible existence of wormholes that allow travel through space, the song also reminds him of Boney M’s ‘Nightflight to Venus and Leila K’s ‘Open Sesame’. “It’s on first because I wanted to let people know we’re going to go for a ride now, you know!”
‘Lies So Deep’ follows, a song about getting over the intensity of heartbreak, where your heart is like a toffee apple but you’re desperate for somebody to come along and break it. Parts of it remind Andy of Stevie Nicks and Adele, and he’s joined for the middle-eight by another Audé collaborator, Sarah Potenza, who broke through in the US on The Voice. “I wanted someone who was like Whitney Houston crossed with Yazoo, and Sarah’s thing was country and gospel. But as soon as I heard her sing these lines, I was like, Oh, my God – that’s it. She brings its emotions to life.”
The album’s full-blooded spirit continues thereafter. ‘For Today’ is radio-perfect, Human League-style electronic pop. ‘Dance For Mercy’ uses the bassline of Sheila and B Devotion’s ‘Spacer’ as the brilliant foundation of a track about reconnecting with your time on earth (“my feet never touched the ground / Walked through the tunnel / Went towards the light / But they said that it wasn’t my time”). There’s a lot of dancing on this album, Andy points out. “Even in Peterborough when I grew up, with my mum and dad in working men’s clubs, I would dance the whole evening. And my heart’s always been in dance music, even if” – he rolls his eyes with self-deprecation – “I don’t really go to clubs anymore!”
Some songs hint at the emotional journey Andy has been on in his life. “It’s so very hard to say hello / When your whole world comes crashing down,” he sings, movingly, on ‘Don’t Cha Know’ (“the most ABBA song on here”). ‘Godspell’ moves from feelings of rapture to castigation in its pounding rhythms and fabulous lyrics: “Get thee behind me, charlatan / Get thee behind me, sycophant / Get thee behind me, false prophet.”
Comments on modern life also sparkle lightly around Ten Crowns‘ golden edges. Featuring a chorus written by Sisely Treasure of the band Shiny Toy Guns, ‘Put Your Empathy On Ice’ sharply satirises today’s overwhelming online world (“No-one can make up their minds / Because their minds are made up for them”). The stunning ‘Dawn Of Heaven’s Gate’ begins differently, with a dream: “If there’s anything I could do for you / Absolutely anything / I would get down on my knees / And pray to the highest power / It wouldn’t be just any power / It would be the power to believe / That we could change everything.”
“That song’s partly about this idea of wondering why in the hell we can’t all get on,” Andy explains. “The whole album is like asking for salvation, really, in a world where everybody ultimately wants to be loved.” Ten Crowns concludes with a very moving moment, a song that Andy thinks might partly inspired by his mum, called ‘Thank You’. It’s about seeing the light as the end of life approaches, directed to “all the people and friends / that came along for the ride / I thank you truly”. As euphoric funeral songs go, it’s hard to think of any better.
Ten Crowns marks a properly majestic moment in Andy Bell’s forty-year career. His joy about what that holds, and where it can go, clearly excites him. “It’s my third sort of solo record [following 2005’s Electric Blue and 2010’s Non-Stop] and in Erasure, our third album was our most successful out of all that we’ve done, so maybe I’m taking that spirit with me!”
Travelling into new dimensions and possibilities with gospel in the heart and dancing in the soul clearly suits him. Ten Crowns is Andy Bell imperial, gleaming, ready for his coronation.

As well-known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as their hit single “I Ran (So Far Away),” A Flock of Seagulls were one of the infamous one-hit wonders of the new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new romantic movement, A Flock of Seagulls were a little too robotic and arrived a little too late to be true new romantics, but their sleek dance-pop was forever indebted to the short-lived movement. The group benefitted considerably from MTV’s heavy rotation of the “I Ran” video in the summer of 1982.
Hairdresser Mike Score (lead vocals, keyboards) formed A Flock of Seagulls with his brother Ali (drums) and fellow hairdresser Frank Maudsley (bass) in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds several months later. The group released its debut EP on Cocteau Records early in 1981, and while the record failed to chart, its lead track, “Telecommunication,” became an underground hit in Euro-disco and new wave clubs. The band signed a major-label contract with Jive by the end of the year, and their eponymous debut album appeared in the spring of 1982. “I Ran (So Far Away)” was released as the first single from the album, and MTV quickly picked up on its icily attractive video, which featured long shots of Mike Score and his distinctive, cascading hair. The single climbed into the American Top Ten, taking the album along with it. In the U.K., “I Ran” didn’t make the Top 40, but “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” reached number ten later that year; in America, that single became a Top 40 hit in 1983, after “Space Age Love Song” peaked at number 30. “Wishing” was taken from the group’s second album, Listen (1983), which was moderately successful.
The band released 1984’s The Story of a Young Heart failed to produce any hit singles but Reynolds left after the album and was replaced by Gary Steadnin; the band also added keyboardist Chris Chryssaphis. The new lineup was showcased on 1986’s Dream Come True. Shortly after its release, the band broke up. Mike Score assembled a new lineup of A Flock of Seagulls in 1989, releasing the single “Magic” and touring the U.S.A. The band continued to tour worldwide, although with major changes to its members, and in 1996 released a new album, The Light at the End of the World.

Wang Chung – 40th Anniversary of To Live in Die in LA
GENRE: Pop, New Wave
In celebration of the 40th anniversary of William Friedkin’s iconic 80s crime-noir masterpiece To Live and Die in L.A., we’re bringing you a once-in-a-lifetime event. For the first time ever, Wang Chung will perform their legendary synth score live in its entirety, expertly synced to footage from the film.

Wang Chung Biography
Wang Chung came out of the post-punk, New Wave scene in the UK going on to achieve global success, selling millions of records. Throughout their 35 year career they have released 6 albums and 2 Greatest Hits compilations. They have had 6 US Top 40 hits including a number 1 and other international smash hits including ‘Dance Hall Days’ and ‘Let’s Go’, and achieved cult status with their soundtrack for William Friedkin’s movie ‘To Live and Die in LA’, as well as their original song contribution to John Hughes’ legendary movie, The Breakfast Club.
In the process of all of this (and somewhat unintentionally), Wang Chung became part of the contemporary culture of North America. Their huge smash ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight’, with its now famous line ”Everybody Wang Chung Tonight” saw the invention of a new US verb: ”to Wang Chung”, the band being name-checked by everyone from Homer Simpson, Austin Powers, Two and a Half Men’s Charlie and Alan Harper, Top Gear’s James May and Richard Hammond, to Frasier Crane to name just a few.
More recently their music has also featured in TV shows like The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, South Park, Glee, This is Us, SNL and The Goldbergs, amongst many others…as well as in movies like Bumblebee, Deadpool and The Fighter. They have also featured in various huge video game titles like Grand Theft Auto:Vice City and in many big commercials.

Conceived in 2016 in the depths of San Francisco, FALSE FIGURE exploded onto the bay area’s burgeoning modern deathrock scene as a loud and driving three piece. Distinguishing themselves with tribalistic tom beats and screeching guitars ala KILLING JOKE, this became the hallmark of early releases as swirling feedback gave way to drippingly saccharine melody. Toying with a dichotomy of tension building verses only to be released by lush melodic choruses, ANDRES RUIZ’s haunting vocals blend together a rich chemistry of melancholic, desperate crooning alongside harmonious guitars. 2022’s release CASTIGATIONS, recorded in April 2021 by Grammy winning engineer GREG WILKINSON (High on Fire) and Mastered by Grammy winning engineer Chris Dugan (Green Day), saw the band take a step towards traditional gothic rock and further from traditional punk sounds while retaining their own alchemy. In 2025 the band seeks to release the newest iteration, departing headfirst into luscious early dream pop ecstasy while maintaining a deep beautiful melancholy radiating throughout the record. With influences from the French cold-wave scene, Spain’s La Movida, and British shoegaze, this newest release includes an entirely new line-up with Kevin DeFranco (Super Unison, Boy Problems) on second guitar and Kienan Hamilton (Cartilage) on bass explore a deeper concept of what modern post-punk could sound like

How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple—Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all.
Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA. From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night. The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux. She tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own emotionally powerful style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront. The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice.
It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument. Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal. On influences, Gretchen has never tired of her initial inspirations—Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jeff Beck. But she has loved Jimmy Page’s guitar playing longer than she has played the guitar. It was through the music of Led Zeppelin that she found a gateway into music that resonated deeply with her, creating a love for guitar-oriented music, and, ultimately, the guitar.
Bassist Holly West began her musical journey full-steam ahead, and more recently than her stellar playing belies. Her unstoppable will and drive have truly propelled her to this moment and her place in the powerhouse Zepparella. A self-taught bass player, she is also a blossoming vocalist with rich rock pipes. Her time on stage has been well spent, developing an impressive attack, impeccable feel, and a technique which seems to have come completely naturally to her, not to mention her dazzling stage presence and joyful performance style. Her influences span the rock gauntlet, from Clutch and the Rival Sons to Slash, ZZ Top, and of course, the mighty Zeppelin.
Singer Anna Kristina is a soulful, fiery, and rocking vocal powerhouse who has stepped into Zepparella’s Plant spot for a second time. Anna was with the band for 5 years, became known for her performance in the band’s 15 million-view “When The Levee Breaks” video, took a 6-year hiatus, and now returns in 2018 to front the band. Her career has spanned acoustic, jazz, soul, rock, and her charisma and power delivers captivating performances every night. About her brilliant harp playing she says: “getting a chance to blow on the harmonica is an added bonus! Plant isn’t just a singer he’s a musician. He brings his blues background and natural percussive feel to his harmonica playing as well and I love getting lost in that. Playing the harp allows me to express on a whole different level and it’s so freeing.”
Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin’s mighty songs!

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson’s career spans over four decades of hits. He has received numerous awards, including the GRAMMY Living Legend Award, NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award, Honorary Doctorate (Howard University), Kennedy Center Honors, and the National Medal of Arts Award from the President of the United States. He has also been inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Robinson founded The Miracles while still in high school. The group was Berry Gordy’s first vocal group, and it was at Robinson’s suggestion that Gordy started the Motown Record dynasty. Their single of Robinson’s “Shop Around” became Motown’s first #1 hit on the R&B singles chart. In the years following, Robinson continued to pen hits for the group, including “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Ooo Baby Baby,” “The Tracks of My Tears,” “Going to a Go-Go,” “More Love,” “Tears of a Clown” (co-written with Stevie Wonder), and “I Second That Emotion.”
The Miracles dominated the R&B scene throughout the 1960s and early 70s, and Robinson became Vice President of Motown Records, serving as in-house producer, talent scout, and songwriter.
In addition to writing hits for the Miracles, Robinson wrote and produced hits for other Motown greats, including The Temptations, Mary Wells, Brenda Holloway, Marvin Gaye, and others. “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” “You Beat Me to the Punch,” “Don’t Mess with Bill,” “Ain’t That Peculiar,” and “My Guy” are just a few of his songwriting triumphs during those years. He later turned to a solo career where he continued his tradition of chart-topping hits with “Just to See Her,” “Quiet Storm,” “Cruisin’,” and “Being with You,” among others.
He remained Vice President of Motown records until the sale of the company, shaping the label’s success with friend and mentor Berry Gordy. Following his tenure at Motown, he continued his impressive touring career and released several successful solo albums. Recently, Robinson was singer/co-writer on the certified gold track “Make It Better” from Anderson Paak’s album Ventura and in 2023 released his newest album of original music entitled Gasms via TLR Music Group/ ADA. In 2024 Smokey curated his own channel on SiriusXM called “Smokey’s SoulTown” featuring soul music from the 60’s and 70’s as well as interviews, live performances, and call ins.
This year of 2025 will mark the 50th ANNIVERSARY of his 1975 breakthrough album, A Quiet Storm. His tour “Smokey Legacy Tour” will highlight this 50th anniversary as well as celebrate all of his top hits throughout the decades.
Throughout his 60+ year music career, Robinson has accumulated more than 4,000 songs to his credit and continues to thrill sold-out audiences worldwide with his high tenor voice, impeccable timing, and profound sense of lyric and style.

San Francisco’s Super Diamond has become one of the most popular live shows at major nightclubs, theaters, ballrooms and public events throughout the United States. For three decades the band has performed sell-out shows at venues such as Irving Plaza in New York, 930 Club in Washington D.C., Bimbo’s in San Francisco, and House of Blues venues in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Cleveland, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Dallas to name a few. Super Diamond delivers a glittering, smoke-filled show performing Neil Diamond‘s hits with a rock edge and unrestrained enthusiasm.
Pure entertainment – classic music combined with fun, energy and passion! Neil Diamond himself has sung his songs on stage with Super Diamond at their shows. Don’t let anyone tell you Neil Diamond doesn’t “ROCK!”

Jason Crosby is a singular force in contemporary music—a virtuosic multi-instrumentalist whose expansive range and refined musicality have taken him from classical concert halls to rock stages around the globe. Beginning violin lessons at age 2 and showing perfect pitch by age 4, Crosby ultimately mastered piano, viola, French horn, trumpet, guitar, bass, mandolin, and more.
Over the years, he’s brought his signature versatility and taste to a Who’s Who of music legends, performing and recording with artists such as Jackson Browne, Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Pete Seeger, and many others.
In addition to his work as a collaborator, Jason has developed his own remarkable voice as a composer and bandleader—most recently through his genre-spanning group The Crosby Collective, as well as through his solo albums, which showcase his thoughtful songwriting and inventive arrangements.
For this special holiday event, Jason brings his deeply rooted musical sensibility to the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas, offering a fresh, imaginative interpretation of Vince Guaraldi’s beloved score. His performance promises elegant arrangements, heartfelt expression, and the warm, festive spirit of the season.

The Terrapin Family Band returns to the Guild Theatre as part of Terrapin Winterfest! Featuring Grahame Lesh, Ross James, Alex Koford, and Jason Crosby, the Family Band carries on the Terrapin tradition of joy, community, and musical exploration.
About the Terrapin Family Band:
Using the Grateful Dead songbook as a springboard for reinterpretation and as inspiration to create original material, the musicians in the Terrapin Family Band are inspired as much by one another as they were by the diverse group of influences that they brought to the table. As a result, the music conveys friendship, respect, warmth, spontaneous conversation and companionship for listeners and performers alike.

Originally formed from shows at Phil Lesh’s Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, CA, in 2012, the Terrapin Family Band began as the venue’s official house band. Terrapin Crossroads’ constant shows, often featuring Phil, created an opportunity for the musicians of Terrapin Crossroads to perform together and with a diverse cast of visiting musicians. Through playing in this setting, the band grew into a richly nuanced and fun group, weaving the classics with obscure covers and fresh original music to create a unique musical tapestry. The band went through many editions throughout the years, but always lay on the foundation of Grahame Lesh, Ross James, Alex Koford, & Jason Crosby. Around their prolific individual musical output, they would always come back together as members of the TFB.

A communal bond brought the band members back together in 2022 – a real need to make music together again. Over time, the group’s music has developed organically, merging and fusing each musician’s influences into a hard-charging sound rooted in the communal/collective, telepathic, exploratory spirit of the Grateful Dead. This is a new twist on the band, and we are excited to see where it takes us. What began as a house band for Phil’s Terrapin Crossroads has turned into something much more, and we’re excited to take the unique Terrapin Family Band sound into this next era as we explore new musical grounds.
