Sparks, Ron and Russell Mael, will be bringing their acclaimed Two Hands One Mouth show home to Los Angeles in April.

In October 2012 the ‘Two Hands One Mouth’ European tour saw the American brothers tour as a duo for the first time. With no band & no computers, Ron (two hands…on keyboards) and Russell (one mouth…on vocals) presented the very essence of Sparks and their extensive catalogue in a show of impact, energy and aggression.

Sparks will be performing in this format at Coachella and are thrilled to be adding the show at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles, with other US cities to be announced.

Ron and Russell explain:
“After 21 wonderful shows in Europe and Japan, we are excessively jubilant to FINALLY be back home in Los Angeles to present Two Hands One Mouth.

It seems like an eternity since we last played for our hometown fans, and we are thrilled to present this special duo performance in a very intimate, very special setting. Sandwiched between our two Coachella performances, these shows will give everyone in L.A. a chance to see and hear our two hands and one mouth without binoculars, long bathroom lines, or sunscreen, and in a full-length form.

If you're a little too anti-social for a Coachella experience but social enough to want a night out with like-minded Sparks fans, be there.”

Sparks’ most recent performances in LA included the sold out shows at The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in 2011, when they performed their musical ‘The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman’, and in 2009 when they lit up Royce Hall, UCLA.
