Shoplifters United (Tribute to The Smiths) with Temptation (Tribute to New Order)

Shoplifters United with Temptation
Doors: September 6, 2025 7:00 PM

Formed in 1982, iconic British rock group The Smiths are regarded as one of the mostinfluential and important groups to emerge from the 1980s. From the poetry ofMorrissey’s lyricism to the inspired musicianship of Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, andMike Joyce, their influence can be heard throughout popular music for decades since andyet their sound is still unique and timeless.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Shoplifters United bring to life the brilliant songsof legendary group The Smiths with an energetic live show and highly accurate sonicrecreations of beloved album tracks and deep cuts.Bizarre coincidence? Shoplifters United had their very first rehearsal on the same fatefulday in September of 2022 as the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was truly, andquite literally, dead and a humble Smiths tribute band was born. Shoplifters United arePascal, Matt, Tommy, and James, a group of friends who share a love for the music ofThe Smiths. Great care has been taken to emulate the sound on those classic Smithsrecords down to every note and groove. Our hope is that when you go to a ShopliftersUnited show, you can close your eyes and imagine the year is 1984 and you are at TheHaçienda nightclub in Manchester.

Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!
