Temptation - a tribute to New Order
New Order was born from the remains of post-punk pioneers Joy Division following the suicide of their frontman Ian Curtis. Combining rock with electronica, the Manchester band would go on to become one of the most influential bands of all time. Their hit ‘Blue Monday’ still remains the top selling 12” single of all time and a club favorite.
Temptation has performed internationally and truly captures the sound of New Order and bring an energy to the live performance that keep clubs packed and people dancing. Every effort has been taken to ensure that the sound and legacy of the band is treated with the utmost respect and accuracy.
Shoplifters United
Formed in 1982, iconic British rock group The Smiths are regarded as one of the most influential and important groups to emerge from the 1980s. From the poetry of Morrissey’s lyricism to the inspired musicianship of Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce, their influence can be heard throughout popular music for decades since and yet their sound is still unique and timeless.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Shoplifters United bring to life the brilliant songs of legendary group The Smiths with an energetic live show and highly accurate sonic recreations of beloved album tracks and deep cuts.
Bizarre coincidence? Shoplifters United had their very first rehearsal on the same fateful day in September of 2022 as the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was truly, and quite literally, dead and a humble Smiths tribute band was born. Shoplifters United are Pascal, Matt, Tommy, and James, a group of friends who share a love for the music of The Smiths. Great care has been taken to emulate the sound on those classic Smiths records down to every note and groove. Our hope is that when you go to a Shoplifters United show, you can close your eyes and imagine the year is 1984 and you are at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester.
Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!
