YAHOO NEWS "On Saturday, May 20, [Sparks] returned to their hometown of Los Angeles to perform their just-released rock opera, Hello Young Lovers, as a special one-night-only stage production that was--rather appropriately--self-hyped as 'the show of the year.'"
"At the conclusion of the mind-boggling set, Russell thanked the crowd for waiting so long, 'listening to Sparks albums in their bedrooms,' for the band's return. 'It's lonely being a Sparks fan,' he quipped. But for the hundreds of people at the Avalon, united in their appreciation for this long-absent and criminally underrated band, this concert was one great big love-in."
