For two decades the band led by singer and mastermind Stuart Staples has existed as Tindersticks. Their genre might be termed “tragic pop”: dense and complex songs with ambitious lyrics wrapped up in an almost dark atmosphere borne along by emotionally sweeping strings. We eagerly await their first concert on the main stage at Schauspielhaus Bochum.
