Erasure at DPAC – Durham Performing Arts Center

ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) will be coming to DPAC January 18, 2022. Bag Raiders will open with a DJ set. Established in London in 1985, enduring alternative dance duo Erasure combine the talents of emotive, broad-ranged vocalist Andy Bell and synth idol Vince Clarke, previously a founding member of Depeche Mode and Yazoo. Like those bands, Erasure is a synth-based group, but with stronger, more house-oriented dance inclinations, as well as a sharp, accessible sense of pop songcraft. The duo's third album, 1988's The Innocents, proved to be their U.S. breakthrough, offering the Top 20 singles "Chains of Love" and "A Little Respect." Erasure's new album, The Neon, is out now and includes the singles "Hey Now (Think I Got A Feeling)," "Nerves of Steel" and "Fallen Angel". The Neon was met with widespread critical acclaim with critics and fans alike praising Andy and Vinces euphoric reemergence at a time when the world needed them most. This summer, the duo will release The Neon Remixed, a collection of reimaginings of songs from The Neon by artists such as Kim Ann Foxman, Hifi Sean, Octo Octa, Paul Humphreys (OMD), Andy Bell & Gareth Jones, Brixxtone, Theo Kottis, and more. Also included is the brand new single Secrets. The Neon Remixed is set for release July 30 on limited edition (first pressing only) double colored vinyl and gatefold CD, both packaged in a mirror board sleeve. Pre-orders via MuteBank and Lexer Music will be entered into a draw to win a bespoke neon sign designed by Yellowpop.
