The Smiths Presumably

The Smiths are to indie what Black Sabbath is to metal: the absolute godfathers of the genre. With anguished, poetic vocals and jangly guitar lines, these four eccentric Mancunians transformed the British pop landscape forever. From Oasis to Interpol, from Fontaines D.C. to the Proust-reading hipster at your local coffee shop you never hear from after the second date - none of them would exist without The Smiths.

The band lasted only five years, because like many iconic groups, The Smiths absolutely despised each other. Johnny Marr recently made clear that a reunion is out of the question, no matter how many millions he'd be offered. Fortunately, there's The Smiths Presumably - a Belgian/Limburgian band that captures the Smiths feeling like no other tribute band. Even in England, the band is known as the best Smiths tribute there is. The moves, the charisma, the voice, that iconic guitar sound - they've got it all down.

After shows in London, Leeds, Birmingham and Manchester (The Factory), The Smiths Presumably now takes the stage at De Helling. This Charming Man, Bigmouth Strikes Again, Girlfriend In A Coma, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - it all comes by, and more.
