Sparks

Get ready for an iconic episode as we welcome Sparks to the show. The legendary pop pioneers, formed by brothers Russell and Ron Mael in 1966, boast a 50+ year history across diverse genres. Their influence on artists like Depeche Mode, Bjork, and Beck is undeniable, and Jack Antonoff has dubbed them the essence of all pop music. The success of the 2021 documentary "The Sparks Brothers," directed by Edgar Wright, solidifies their profound impact on pop culture. In October, the brothers Mael are returning to Australia for their own headline tour and Adelaide's Harvest Rock Festival. Join us as we chat with Ron and Russell Mael about their upcoming Australia tour, illustrious career journey, unique start in music, connection with the documentary, and newfound friendship with Australia's own Cate Blanchett.
