X Simple Minds Live In MANILA!!

X Simple Minds? A new band? Wattaname? Well, this is minus Jim Kerr their Lead Vocalist. Let's just see how they sound like. X Simple Minds has been tried and tested in its long musical journey which started in 1977 for this band from Glasgow. From the original four members (Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchi ll, Brian McGee, and Derek Forbes) in the 70s, the current members are bassist Derek Forbes and drummer Brian McGee. A new addition to the band is Brian’s younger brother, Owen Paul McGee, who stepped in as their lead vocalist. This trio is sure to hit the right notes and get you swaying to the beat of both their new and old songs.

Catch them perform live at Eastwood Mall Open Park in Eastwood City, Quezon City on September 10 (8pm) and at Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio on September 11 (8pm). Check out the legendary band as they strike the right chords this September at the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

hello and thanks for your great new wave blog. just like to comment that this is not Simple Minds. It has Simple Minds founding member Brian Mcgee and Dereck Forbes(a significant member 'til '85 and sometime in the 90's). They are essentially a cover band but an outstanding one. World Class indeed. Great performance at SMX.Too bad average New Wave fans here will only know 3 -5 of there songs....
