SMOKIE returns to Australia for All the Greatest Hits Tour in Celebration of their 50th Anniversary.
Look at the Guinness Book of Hit Singles and you could be forgiven for thinking SMOKIE’s success story was a 1970s phenomenon. After all, they had 7 Top 20 Australian Top 20 Hits in that eventful musical decade. The sound was a combination of hook-laden songs and SMOKIE’s distinctive but unashamedly Stateside-influenced soft-rock harmonies, their secret being their vocal blend – a rasping, emotion-drenched lead set against melodic harmonies that produces a unique, bittersweet result.
SMOKIE’s All the Greatest Hits Tour will feature every single hit record they had including Lay Back in the Arms of Someone, Needles and Pins, I’ll Meet You at Midnight, Oh Carol and of course Living Next Door to Alice which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. SMOKIE’s “All the Best” compilation sold an incredible 230,000 copies in Australia!
Nostalgia at its best, with hit after hit SMOKIE prove once again why they deserve the name of being one of the must-see “live” bands in the music business today!
