Vapors of Morphine add second Belgrade show on Nov 18
The November 17 date at Belgrade's KC Elektropionir has sold out, so a second night was added on November 18 for the band featuring an original Morphine member.
Tickets for Tuesday, November 17, at KC Elektropionir (Cetinjska 15) have sold out, according to Balkanrock, and Belgrade gets another night with Vapors of Morphine: Wednesday, November 18, starting at 8:30 pm, at the same club. Nova.rs announced the first date on October 8, also with an 8:30 pm start, which means it sold out in less than two weeks.
The organizers reportedly scheduled the second show because of strong demand and the club’s limited capacity. The announcements do not say how many people the club holds, and ticket prices are not given either.
Who is behind the name Vapors of Morphine?
It is an American band led by Dana Colley, a baritone saxophonist and member of the original Morphine lineup. Morphine formed in the late 1980s in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its founder and singer Mark Sandman died in 1999.
Tom Arey is on drums, while blues musician Jeremy Lyons takes over the two-string bass and vocals. According to the announcement, he keeps the late frontman Mark Sandman’s legacy alive on two-string slide bass and vocals. There is no guitar in this lineup: baritone saxophone, drums and a two-string bass are meant to do all the work, a sound the announcements call low rock.
What will they play at Elektropionir?
The program, as announced, has two parts: original material and songs from the album Fear & Fantasy, followed by a run through Morphine songs. These titles are listed:
- “Cure for Pain”
- “Buena”
- “Honey White”
- “A Head With Wings”
- “The Other Side”
- “Thursday”
- “Candy”
- “The Night”
The announcement presents the Morphine section as a retrospective of the band’s biggest hits, so most of these titles can be expected there. The running order has not been published, and the announcement for the second date lists the same program as the first.
How do you get tickets for November 18?
Presale for the new date starts on Sunday. Tickets can be bought at two physical locations, Anti Shop at KC Elektropionir and Anti Shop Central Garden, and online through the Cooltix platform. Prices are not given in the announcement.
The two concerts run back to back, Tuesday and Wednesday, at the same club and with the same start time. The organizers urge visitors to secure tickets for the second show in good time, since for the first it is already too late.
