BALAAM & THE ANGEL + Guests

‘Forces of Evil Tour’’ – 7:30pm Fri 29th Nov, Bedford Esquires.

In October Balaam And The Angel will release their first newly recorded studio material for 30 years.

“Forces Of Evil” is a four track EP single with a dynamic title track that focuses on the dark and disturbing issues affecting communities in all areas of the globe. This new recording also marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the band’s first ground
breaking four track EP single “World Of Light” in the Autumn of 1984.

As a mark of this landmark event the band will be releasing this new material on their own Darklands Record label.

In support of the release, the band will embark on a series of UK shows in November. Balaam and The Angel first emerged on the scene in 1983 and by 1984 had set up their own record label Chapter 22 releasing three classic singles before signing a worldwide deal with Virgin Records.

As a major label act the band released a number critically acclaimed albums (The Greatest Story Ever Told and Live Free Or Die) and were included on the soundtrack of John Candy/Steven Martin movie “Trains, Planes And Automobiles”.

The band have toured consistently as headline act and as a guest to the likes of The Cult, Iggy Pop, Aerosmith, Kiss and more recently by request of The Almighty. Such is the crossover diversity of appeal for the band.

Still one of the few bands from their era to boast the original line up of the three brothers Jim, Mark and Des Morris they continue to generate deeply authentic and accomplished performances that makes them a phenomenal live act making the forthcoming tour something to savour.
