Classic Album Sundays is the world’s most popular listening experience and Kansas City is now part of this worldwide series. Classic Album Sundays provides an immersive experience where you will not only hear the story behind the album but will also hear it in a way you never have before on world class hi-fi equipment.
Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the world’s most popular electronic band’s biggest selling album. ‘Violator’ was Depeche Mode’s seventh studio LP and catapulted them into international success and sees them at the height of their powers. Produced by Flood and mixed by Francois Kevorkian the album’s slick yet accessible sound was a successful marriage of goth, synth-pop, dance and good ole rock n’roll. Martin Gore and crew address dark themes such as guilt, religion, nihilism, and misanthropy. The album had widespread appeal spawning top ten hits and spending 74 weeks in the charts. 'Violator' pushed the band ‘over the edge’ (in more ways than one!). Read more about the album here.
Join us for Sunday lunch, order a pizza, maybe a beer, and listen to music that either inspired or was relevant to this classic LP, then the lights go down, the volume goes up and we play the featured album from beginning to end on vinyl over a world-class sound system. You won’t believe what you can hear!
