The musical duo Sparks, consisting of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, recently performed a sold-out 19-song set at the York Barbican as part of a United Kingdom tour. The performance featured a mix of classic hits and newer material, including the rare track ‘Micky Mouse’.

Following the concert, the band announced a deluxe reissue of their 1986 album, ‘Music That You Can Dance To’, scheduled for release on October 30th via Curb Records. This reissue is intended to address the complicated international release history of the original album, which involved various tracklist changes and re-titling across different markets.
