Next Up . . . .. . Sunday 8th August @ The O2 Academy, Newcastle Please note that there is circle seating plus standing on the main floor. Both areas are £20.00 Eric Burdon We are delighted to announce the return of legendary Animals front man, Eric Burdon to play a gig in Newcastle on Sunday 8th August. It has been over eight years since Burdon performed in Newcastle when he thrilled two thousand ecstatic fans. Still working very hard and touring the world every year, Burdon’s visits to the Northeast are sadly very rare.
His last visit was back in 2002 when he made a triumphant return to his home city - more than a quarter of a century after his previous gig on Tyneside. Burdon walked out on stage to tumultuous applause and, launching into Don't Bring Me Down, demonstrated that his amazing lung capacity is still very much intact. When Burdon split from the Animals he headed for California, a place he still calls home. There he achieved further great success when he joined the band War. Together they ushered in the winds of change in rock music in 1969. The multi-ethnic band whose mix of funk, blues, rock and soul hadn't up to that point been appreciated beyond the confines of being an accomplished backing band in southern California. But with the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the rapidly changing times, the band was projected into the forefront of a new music scene. And despite the name War, this was a band with a message of peace, harmony and tolerance and a front man who had been in one of the most influential bands of the 60's. The Animals were part of the blossoming blues movement of the early Sixties. The original line-up featured singer Eric Burdon, organist Alan Price, bassist Chas Chandler, guitarist Hilton Valentine and drummer John Steel. They drew their inspiration from American blues and R&B and gravel voiced Eric Burdon quickly became one of the leading singers in the country. A further trademark to the Animals sound was the distinctive and powerful organ playing of Alan Price. With the release of House of the Rising Sun in mid-1964, they became the first British group after the Beatles to chart a number one single in America. Other hits followed with I'm Crying, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood and Bring It On Home To Me. The Animals were a worldwide success. Burdon’s return to Newcastle is sure to be well attended and looks like being one the gigs of the year.
