Balaam and the Angel set to perform at MK venue during tour
Balaam and the Angel are gearing up to take the stage at The Craufurd Arms venue in Milton Keynes on October 9 as part of their ongoing “Forces of Evil” tour. This dynamic alternative rock band made a triumphant return to the music scene last year after an impressive three-decade hiatus with the release of their latest record.
The band, comprised of the talented Morris brothers – Mark on bass and vocals, Jim on guitar and keyboards, and Des on drums, has been a fixture in the alternative and rock music scenes since the 1980s. Throughout their illustrious career, Balaam and the Angel have shared the stage with legendary acts like The Mission, Kiss, The Cult, Aerosmith, and Iggy Pop. Their widespread appeal and timeless sound have garnered them a dedicated global fanbase.
In October 2024, Balaam and the Angel dropped their EP “Forces of Evil,” a project that holds a special significance for the band members. Recorded at Oxygene Studios in Manchester with Christoph Bride, renowned for his work with bands like The Chameleons and Kirk Brandon/Theatre Of Hate/Spear Of Destiny, the EP showcases the band’s evolution and musical prowess.
Guitarist Jim Morris shared his insights on the creative process behind the EP, reflecting on the evolution of the song ‘Forces Of Evil’ from its early days to its timely relevance today. The band’s commitment to preserving their original lineup ensures that fans will experience a genuine 80s alternative live music performance every time they take the stage.
Further adding to their growing acclaim, Balaam and the Angel have been featured in Vive Le Rock magazine, while their music video for the EP’s title track has garnered over 326,000 views.
