Colorado Couples (40's & 50's-ish)

Can you feel the ELECTRICITY? No, you're not DREAMING. And it's not a SECRET.

OMD is returning to Denver in 2025! Since moving to Colorado, we've seen OMD every time they're returned and we are SO IN LOVE with them. They put on a FANTASTIC show and while each band member is great, the drummer can PLAY, which isn't an easy feat at this elevation.

We'll meet before the show @ 5:45 for dinner/drinks/conversation at The Yard House. We'll then all walk over to the Paramount together to enjoy the show.

I'll start a comment in the meetup for everyone to post seat locations.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic band formed in Wirral, Merseyside, in 1978. The group consists of co-founders Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), along with Martin Cooper (various instruments) and Stuart Kershaw (drums); McCluskey has been the only constant member. Regarded as pioneers of electronic music, OMD combined an experimental, minimalist ethos with pop sensibilities, becoming central figures in the late-1970s/early-1980s emergence of synth-pop.

McCluskey and Humphreys led precursor group the Id from 1977–1978, and re-recorded their track "Electricity" as OMD's debut single in 1979. Weathering an "uncool" image and a degree of hostility from music critics, the band gained popularity throughout Europe with the 1980 anti-war song "Enola Gay", and achieved broader recognition via Architecture & Morality (1981) and its three hit singles. Although later reappraised, Dazzle Ships (1983) was seen as overly challenging, and eroded European support. The group embraced a more radio-friendly sound on Junk Culture (1984); this change in direction led to greater success in the United States, and yielded the 1986 hit, "If You Leave".
