China Crisis Bring Synth-Pop to Brighton
China Crisis, the English new wave and synth-pop band, are set to perform at Concorde 2 in Brighton on Friday, 8 October 2027. With a career spanning over four decades, they have built a loyal following and are known for their unique sound and humorous live shows.
Hailing from Kirkby, near Liverpool, China Crisis was formed in 1979 by Gary Daly and Eddie Lundon, who met at St Kevin's School for Boys and began playing together as teenagers. The band's early records were shaped by Brian Eno and were politically charged, but they soon moved towards a more commercial sound.
What kind of music can we expect from China Crisis? Their sound combines synth-pop with reggae, country, and other styles, with horns, strings, woodwinds, and pedal steel, making for a unique and eclectic sound.
How have China Crisis evolved over the years? The band has released several albums, including Flaunt the Imperfection, produced by Walter Becker of Steely Dan, and Autumn in the Neighbourhood, which was their first studio album in 21 years. They have also released China Greatness, a set of reworked favourites, which earned them their best ever album chart position.
What's next for China Crisis? China Crisis are performing at Concorde 2 in Brighton on Friday, 8 October 2027, and tickets are on sale with the button beside the article.
