Aquostic Live at the Roundhouse

Aquostic Live at the Roundhouse

Status Quo, one of the most successful and influential bands in rock history. 30 studio albums, 64 British hit singles and many live albums bring joy to their fans for over 40 years. With record sales exceeding 118 million units world wide Status Quo are one of the most important British Rock Bands of all times.

Since the formation of the band in 1968, they broke all records: 22 hit singles in the UK Top 10, 415 weeks in the UK British Charts, 32 albums in the top 10 (second only to the Stones!).

With their recent album Aquostic (Stripped Bare) , the band enjoyed tremendous success. The album itself was a top chart hit all over Europe, with #4 in Switzerland, #5 in the UK, #15 in Germany and Top 30 releases all over Europe. It was with that album that Quo reinforced their position among the all time great British album acts today by chalking up their 500th week on the Official UK Albums Chart. This achievement puts Quo among a select group of only 50 acts with 500 weeks or more on the Official Albums Chart.

Aquostic! Live at the Roundhouse is a landmark release, simply said. Recorded in October 2014 in a joint effort by earMUSIC and the BBC, it captures the band s first ever live acoustic performance at the glorious Roundhouse in London. This sensational recording features the new pared back side of Quo, as revealed on the hit 2014 album Aquostic! (Stripped Bare) . This album soared to the highest chart positions, giving the band their highest placing in the UK for 18 years, and has now been certified Gold. BBC Radio 2 broadcast this special Aquostic performance live, and the footage was made available on the night on red button and was the BBC s highest rated program with over a million views in just five days. Now, with the release of Aquostic! Live at the Roundhouse , it is available for Quo fans to own. 2015 sees Francis Rossi, Rick Partt, Andrew Bown, John Rhino Edwards and Leon Cave building on the incredible momentum that Aquostic has generated.

After 50 years at the top of their game as one of the world s premiere hard rock acts, Quo have leapt out of their comfort zone, this reworking of their legendary songbook is fully acoustic and features female backing vocalists, additional musicians and even a string section; a totally new Quo live experience!
