As founding members of the British band Gomez, Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell have shaped the
sound of indie rock with their eclectic blend of blues, rock, folk, electronic and experimental
influences. In March 2024, they embark on the Total Recall Tour, celebrating the full breadth of
Gomez’s career by performing at least one song from each of the band’s seven studio albums,
along with tracks from Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline and the Machismo EP.
Gomez first made waves with their 1998 debut Bring It On, which won the Mercury Prize. Ian and
Ben’s contrasting vocals and musical style became a defining feature of the band. They followed
with the atmospheric Liquid Skin (1999) and the more experimental In Our Gun (2002), each
expanding their musical reach.
The band continued to evolve with Split the Difference (2004), How We Operate (2006), A New
Tide (2009), and their latest, Whatever’s On Your Mind (2011). Alongside these, fan-favorite rarities
from Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline (2000) and the Machismo EP (2000) will also be
featured, ensuring that every phase of Gomez’s creative journey is represented.
Both Ian and Ben have pursued successful solo careers, but their chemistry remains as strong as
ever. The Total Recall tour offers a rare opportunity for fans to experience the full scope of
Gomez’s music, celebrating their enduring legacy and creative partnership through songs that
have defined their remarkable three-decade spanning career.
Ben and Ian will be joined by LA based singer songwriter and long term collaborator Buddy.
