History
The Smiths Indeed were formed in Liverpool in 2005. They played their first show in Glasgow in Bar Bia on 10 December 2005. They quickly gained a reputation for excellent live shows. They have played multiple extensive UK tours, as well as some European and North American dates, selling out numerous venues. The band strive to recreate the experience of seeing a mid-1980s Smiths concert. In order to get the atmosphere just right, they pay particular attention to using authentic instruments and equipment.
The Smiths Indeed name is taken from the run-out grooves etching on the vinyl of the 1984 Smiths single, "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". A Smiths fanzine called Smiths Indeed also existed between 1986 and 1989.
The musicians are from various well-known Liverpool-based bands such as The Christians, Pete Wylie and Maudlin Rich.
Setlist
The setlist consists of songs from The Smiths's extensive repertoire. They do not play any Morrissey solo songs. Sample setlist (Newcastle Academy, 7 December 2007):
