About

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic music band formed in Wirral, Merseyside in 1978. Founding members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys pioneered a distinctive synth-pop sound, scoring major hits like "Enola Gay" and "Maid of Orleans." Rounded out by members Martin Cooper (keyboards, saxophone) and Stuart Kershaw (drums), OMD released several acclaimed albums in the 1980s, and have continued to record and perform over the decades.

    Ultimate professionals!

    by Inceptor2000 on 7/1/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    One of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. I heard most of their hits singles and few from the new 'album' English Electric. Although I personally like their earlier work History of Modern better, I felt lucky to hear some of it live. OMD is one of the few bands recording fairly continually since the 80s (depeche mode, U-2, Erasure, ex-SoftCell Mark Almond and ex-Go-Gos Belinda Carlisle. They have lost none of their old skills and even played an extraordinary song called Night Cafe which comes off great live. The theatre was packed and gave a rousing reception to all the original band members. An incredible night which I will never forget as I had been trying to see them play for many many years. Their three song encore was a testament to their fan appreciation. I hope they come back once again.

    cannot miss an OMD concert ever!!

    by LMeza on 4/26/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    OMD is overall the best band to see live! Andy's crazy dancing and sarcasm is what makes their concerts so entertaining. I've only been to two/three(amoeba) of their concerts, but i am hooked and cannot miss their concerts( in LA) They are AMAZING and a really nice and friendly band. Highly recommended xx

    OMD...blast from the past...

    by AAlvie on 4/19/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    I bought tickets for my wife, whose a huge fan, as a birthday gift. The group I was with got there about 7pm, waited in line for about an hour. It was at this time that I found out that 2 of us had general admission on the floor level while the other two had balcony seating, which confused me and didn't understand why. The opening act "diamond rings" was average, they played for about 45 minutes. However once OMD came out, they really were amazing. The lead singer was full of energy and has not lost his voice, I can't believe he's 60+ y/o. Most of his songs sound almost exactly the way they sounded 20 years ago. They played for about 2 hours and performed all of their hits.

    OMD Crushed It.

    by Anonymous on 4/18/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    Been so long since they have been in Los Angeles. I have been a fan since i was a teenager. they were my first ever concert during their Crush Tour. They were awesome. I appreciated the extra long set. Their opening band, "diamond rings" was a great choice too. I really liked his band especially the key board player. their music was cool too.

    great show

    by rejmom on 4/18/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    this was such a fun show. they really had a great studio-quality sound. it's fun to see a band like this connect with the audience. there is a level of trust that wasn't allowed when we were all much younger and rowdier. great venue and warmup band.

    OMD Electrifies Fonda

    by ElenofTruva on 4/18/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    While OMD's triumphant performance during a sandstorm at the Gobi tent at Coachella was all about their fast paced dance songs, their full set at the Fonda on Monday night was a masterful mixture of those songs with the more contemplative melancholy songs which really distinguish these British pioneers from all of the other synth-based acts of the past thirty-five years. It was a sign of their continued relevance and good health that many of the highlights at the Fonda were songs from their brand new album English Electric and that these new songs such as the set opener Metroland are among their very best. Make sure to catch OMD on their continued tour this summer or if you're still in doubt listen to the brand new English Electric on BMG.

    OMD is AMAZING!!!

    by JulesCK on 4/17/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    OMD is sooooo GREAT live! They sound just as good in person as on their original recorded hits - LOVE that! They played a lot of their old hits that everyone is familiar with, which is always a plus when you go to see a band you love. The new songs are great too! Andy McCluskey's awesome moves and dynamic on-stage presence gave the show its "electricity". Go Andy! Loved it when Paul took over the mic for some of my favorite songs! Great group! Great music! Great fun!!

    OMD once again.

    by SteveMarq on 4/17/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    Just put on your dancing shoes and start jumping. OMD rocked on and danced away. The crowd loved the ride. Even better in the small venue like the Fonda. The songs take you back, and then they take you forward. You feel good all the way home and the next day too. Can't wait until the next OMD tour pulls into town.

    OMD sound as good as ever.

    by TheGodofThunder on 4/17/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    I really enjoyed this performance. OMD seemed to have captured their original sound, They mixed just enough of their hits to not loose the audience with their new music. The band has really improved in the past two years. The acoustics at the Fonda were outstanding. Diamond Rings seemed to be a cross between Debbie Gibson and Vanilla Ice.
