Shoplifters United, the Bay Area's premier tribute to The Smiths, return to Sweetwater on Saturday, July 11th.

​

Shoplifters United bring to life the brilliant songs of legendary group The Smiths with an energetic live show and highly accurate sonic recreations of beloved album tracks and deep cuts.

Formed in 1982, iconic British rock group The Smiths are regarded as one of the most influential and important groups to emerge from the 1980s. From Morrissey’s lyrical poetry to the inspired musicianship of Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce, their influence can be heard throughout popular music for decades since and yet their sound is still unique and timeless. Great care has been taken to emulate the sound on those classic Smiths records down to every note and groove. Our hope is that when you go to a Shoplifters United show, you can close your eyes and imagine the year is 1984 and you are at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester. 

Opening the show is Just Like Heaven, a terrific tribute to The Cure.
