All You Need To Know About Sparks

Sparks, the Californian art pop duo formed by brothers Ron and Russell Mael, have cemented their reputation as one of the most influential and enduring acts in contemporary music. With a career spanning over five decades, they are celebrated for their inventive, genre-defying approach that blends art rock, synth-pop, new wave and theatrical elements. Sparks first broke through with their 1974 hit Kimono My House, and over the years have released numerous critically acclaimed albums, collaborated with artists including Giorgio Moroder, Todd Rundgren, The Go-Go’s Jane Wiedlin, and French filmmaker Leo Carax on the 2023 musical Annette, and influenced generations of musicians from New Order and The Smiths to Björk, Beck and Jack Antonoff.

Recent albums The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte (2023) and MAD! (2025) continue to showcase their wit, musical versatility and inventive artistry. Known for their dynamic and theatrical live performances, Sparks return to Australia for Vivid LIVE, performing a career-spanning set at the Joan Sutherland Theatre for one night only. With a catalogue that stretches over six decades, including classics such as This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us, Angst In My Pants and The Number One Song In Heaven, Sparks promise an unforgettable and euphoric evening of music.
