OMD radio interview

Andy McCluskey of OMD has given an exclusive radio interview to Dave Charles on Midlands station Harborough FM. In the interview McCluskey goes over his 34 year career with Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and reveals that the new album will be out "next year".
The support slot on the Simple Minds tour later this year is also discussed. Although the role as support band has been derised by many fans McCluskey sees the tour as a way of playing 'arenas' rather than theatres. McCluskey reveals that the set will be very much a 'greatest hits' package although denies the '80s revival' type aproach.
The two bands also share a similar history coming from the respective post-punk scenes in Glasgow and Liverpool, both eventually signing to Virgin and achieving mainstream success in the early 80s. Despite internal divisions over the intervening years both bands have remained active continuing to release albums and perform live.
Simple Minds' new album Grafitti Soul is out on 25th May.

Simple Minds : alive and kicking so don't you forget about them.
