Ron and Russell Mael were inspired as teenagers to make music after seeing the Beatles at the Bowl in 1964. Nearly six decades later, they walked onto that same stage.
the 2021 musical film for which the Maels were co-creators of the story and music. The title track of “The Girl is Crying in Her Latte,” which arrived in May, followed, and over the 90 minutes the show ran, the unique, imaginative musical world of the brothers blossomed on stage.
Sparks’ lyrics range from funny to serious, romantic to morose, and sometimes all of that in the same song. Sometimes the joke is in the title – “Angst In My Pants,” for instance. The second half of the set delivered some of Sparks’ best-loved songs, including “Music That You Can Dance To,” an ode and a sendup of dance-pop, and “When Do I Get to Sing ‘My Way,’” a song that’s both wistful and joyous.
After “My Baby’s Taking Me Home” opened the encore the night wrapped up with “All That,” a song Russell Mael introduced as one that “encapsulates how we feel emotionally about an evening like tonight. It’s so amazing, the bond that we have with all you guys, It’s something extra special.” “We really wanted to thank you so much,” Ron Mael said when his brother unexpectedly handed him the microphone to say something. “We’re from Los Angeles, and we started out here, playing in front of six waitresses at the Whisky A Go Go, and we thought we were just on top of the world at that point.
