On Friday night, 9 February at The Bungalow, there will be no no safety nets, no laughing gnomes, no silly wigs… just the music of Bowie played hard and honestly by Spiders on Mars.
Formed in 2004 in Glasgow, Spiders On Mars is a six-piece band of musicians who are bonded by a love for the music of the 20th Century’s greatest musical icon. They play music from every era of David Bowie’s career.
From The Man Who Sold The World and Space Oddity through the Ziggy years and onto The Thin White Duke. From the blue-eyed soul of Young Americans to the New Wave defining Ashes To Ashes. From the anthemic Heroes to the disco-funk of Let’s Dance.
With over 40 classic hits and fan favourites to draw upon as well as special “full album” performances, Spiders on Mars are not a tribute band, Spiders On Mars are a rocking tribute to the music of David Bowie. Tickets on the door from 7.00pm.
