Ziggy Tributes In The Usa

David Brighton of Space Oddity gets Ziggy with it for Shakira.

I looked at you and wondered if you saw things my way…

An intriguing little snippet has reached me from David Brighton of Space Oddity, the American David Bowie Tribute act. David, who recreates many of DB’s personas with much style, has just completed filming as Ziggy Stardust (see still above) for the multimedia portion of Shakira‘s first world tour.

Unfortunately, David can’t tell us much more than that, but I’m sure one of you Shakira fans will let us know exactly what Mr Brighton’s contribution has been when the Shakira tour kicks off on November 8th in San Diego.

The changing faces of David B.

If you get a chance to go and see Space Oddity, do. Meanwhile, check out their website for details of upcoming shows, live footage, pictures and much more.

While we’re on the subject of Ziggy impersonators, if you’re in the Miami area this Halloween (Oct 31st) you should go check out Spackle at the Tobacco Road Bar & Cabaret. Spackle will be performing the whole of Ziggy Stardust as an anniversary tribute to Bowie and the album.

Spackle, who I was told about by DB’s lighting man, Tom, will be joined by two other local bands, The Omine Band and The Kind…Punters are encouraged to glam it up, and generally dress with a Ziggy vibe.

Roni Enten of Spackle tells me: “We’re all great fans and pumped about the event…It should be a fun night (runs 10-2 am), and the first of its kind in Miami.”
