Spencer Davis
MUSIC: The Animals featuring Spencer Davis, Lowry, Sun 7 Sep
David Sue3/ 9/2008
WE'VE seen the pop charts recently invaded by Wombats, Pigeon Detectives and even Monkeys of an Arctic persuasion.
With this in mind, it makes perfect sense that the original wild pop creatures, The Animals, make a fresh bid to grab their place in the pop spotlight.
As animals go, this is one pop beast which has greatly evolved. First emerging from Newcastle in the Sixties, they have experienced numerous line-up changes, as well as diversions in their sound.
The band seem to operate on a rapidly revolving door policy (at the last count, The Animals had seen 23 members come and go).
But this is one pop animal famed more for its sound, than its appearance. The Animals were one of the defining bands of the Sixties British pop invasion, and it’s those signature songs – such as We Gotta Get Out of This Place and, most famously, House of The Rising Sun – which continue to draw fans to their gigs, new and old audiences rejoicing in the decade’s nostalgic pop innocence.
For this weekend’s Manchester date, that nostalgia factor will be doubled thanks to a special guest appearance from fellow Sixties pop icon Spencer Davis of 'Keep On Running' fame.
