THE SMITHS INDEED - BEST OF
The Smiths were – and for many of their fiercely devoted followers, remain to this day - far, far more than a just band. They were an attitude, a look, a whole way of life, a vital antidote to the bland and meaningless pop culture of the 1980s; giving a voice at times poignant, humorous and tender - but always crucial - to a whole generation. There is a light and it never goes out…
Since 2005, Liverpool’s THE SMITHS INDEED have eked out a reputation as worthy bearers of the torch, reproducing with uncanny accuracy the triumphant vibrancy and energy of the Smiths live experience, circa Mid 80s.
Belgian frontman Jurgen Wendelen is quintessentially Morrissey in sight and sound and the band have nailed down perfectly the sound of Marr, Rourke and Joyce; developing a fierce following of their own among the notoriously hard to please hardcore Smiths fans. No mean feat.
“We aim to recapture the atmosphere and excitement of a mid-Eighties Smiths concert, with flowers, spectacles, open shirts, triumphant sing-alongs and glowing faces,” says singer and Morrissey impersonator Jurgen Wendelen. Originally from Antwerp, he joined the band when he moved to Liverpool in 2005.
