There will be "No More Words" as 80's band Berlin rides "The Metro" to 19 Broadway Niteclub in Marin County on July 1, 2004.
Special San Francisco Bay Area encore performance in an intimate setting, only at 19 Broadway.
Fairfax, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2004 -- Before Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, pre-Shirley Manson and Garbage and dozens of other current sensations, there was Berlin – the American Progenitor of electro-pop and sexy provocation fronted by the enigmatic Terri Nunn. And, while many bands that had tremendous success in the Eighties are the recipients of tributes today, few have had as far-reaching an impact or grooves nearly as timeless as those of Berlin. On July 1, 2004, Berlin will be returning to the Bay Area for an encore intimate performance at 19 Broadway Niteclub in Fairfax, California. Opening or Berlin will be local talent Katie Knipp, doors open at 8:30pm and tickets are $25 (advance) $30 (day of show) and are available now at Ticketweb, 1-866-468-3399, online at www.ticketweb.com, or in person at 19 Broadway Niteclub, 19 Broadway Boulevard, Fairfax, CA.
This Los Angeles-based synth-pop group, founded by bassist John Crawford, singer Terri Nunn, and keyboard player David Diamond, made its first national impression with the provocative single "Sex (I'm A... )" from the gold-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. The group was filled out by guitarist Rick Olsen, keyboard player Matt Reid, and drummer Rob Brill. Berlin's first full-length LP was the gold Love Life in 1984. In 1985, the group was pared down to a trio of Crawford, Nunn, and Brill. Berlin topped the charts in 1986 with the single "Take My Breath Away," the love theme from the Tom Cruise movie Top Gun. Take My Breath Away" spawned an international number-one single, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. Nunn left for a solo career in 1987, and Crawford and Brill teamed up in the Big F. In 1999, the band reunited to record some new studio material and also performed a concert, which, along with the new songs, was released as 2000's Berlin Live: Sacred & Profane. This was followed a year later by a flurry of recording sessions that included co-writing tracks with Billy Corgan among others. The end result, Voyeur, was their first full-length studio release in over 15 years.
