Spandau Ballet reunited in the U.K. in 2009, and played their first stateside concert in nearly 30 years at South By Southwest in March. Their SXSW appearance also marked the world premiere of the band’s documentary “Soul Boys of the Western World.”
Spandau Ballet’s last album release came in 2009 with Once More, which primarily consisted of re-recordings of its older songs.
