Linsmore Tavern is extremely excited to welcome back The Spiral Theory on Friday, May 9th. The Spiral Theory is a unique tribute band focusing on three of the greatest bands over the last 50 years - The Police, U2, and R.E.M.
Also, their sets for the evening will include equally energetic covers from other influential rockers (The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, The Black Keys, and the likes of 'em) who followed the above pioneers of modern rock. They also cleverly sandwich a few classic Canadian covers (of Rush, Hip, and Bryan Adams) in between their sets.
This rocking band will entertain your socks off just like all their previous shows at Linsmore for an always-capacity crowd, so we are thrilled to bring ‘em back this Spring!
THE PIONEERS OF MODERN ROCK!
In 1983, The Police is selling out stadiums across North America as the world’s most popular rock band. Their opening act, on their first national tour, is barely known R.E.M.. In 1985, U2 plays the Longest Day festival in Milton Keynes, England with R.E.M. on the same bill. Bono later stated meeting Michael Stipe on that day, and their ensuing friendship, was “one of the most important moments of my life.“ On the final show of the 1986 Amnesty National Tour at Giants Stadium in New York, The Police symbolically take their instruments off during “Invisible Sun” and pass them over to U2, who then finish the song before starting their own set. The torch is officially passed. By 1991, with the releases of “Achtung Baby” and “Out of Time”, U2 and R.E.M. have become “the most important rock bands of a generation, setting a new standard for how arena rock concerts could feel and how they could communicate” – The Chicago Tribune.
