Empress of a Thousand Sky

For more than 35 years, UK’s New Model Army rock the world with unending consistency. A band that built their fame with monumental records like Vengeance (1984), No rest for The Wicked (1985), Thunder and Consolation (1989), The Love of Hopeless Causes (1993), and all the way up to 2016’s Winter, they’re a group that have rocked audiences from the stage thousands of times and will (hopefully) never stop doing what they know best: perform live and publish their manifesto. Excellent and loud rock music with lyrics for thought by Justin Sullivan. Whether it’s punk or post-punk or alternative rock, NMA always have a very good product for the public, and this time they announced a revolutionary two-night event at the Round Chapel in Hackney, London, April 13 and 14, 2018.

The LPO Live label already boasts one Eighth – Tennstedt, live in the same venue in 1991 – worthy of a place at the summit of the Eighth’s discography. Now it has a second.
