OMD - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Tickets
Founded by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, who are acquaintances since primary school and former members of The Id, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark got its name from a list of lyrics printed on McCluskey's bedroom wall; he chose it to avoid being confused as a punk band as synth-pop is OMD's specialty. Starting out playing to backup tracks prerecorded on a four-track tape recorder, OMD debuted live in a small club in Liverpool in 1978 right as a British pop new wave was cresting. What followed was an almost instant hit single in "Electricity" and an invitation to open for Joy Division and then Gary Numan on tour. Since then, OMD has released a total of 13 studio albums, six live albums, five compilation albums, eight video albums, two extended plays, 45 music videos and 39 singles, but nothing compares to seeing the band in a live concert performance.OMG! OMD Is Back!
After disbanding in 1996, a German TV show requested the group perform exactly a decade later, and the timing was right for an OMD reunion. It led to a 2007 remastered re-release of the earlier album Architecture & Morality and tour to promote it, followed by a live DVD and CD release of the tour. In 2009, OMD performed live with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. What followed has been a succession of innovative performances during which time OMD has seen its songs and samples used in an abundance of modern films, TV shows and cover versions.Where can I buy OMD - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark tickets?
