Experience The Loved Ones Live at Aclam Club, Barcelona

On October 12, 2025, Aclam Club in Barcelona was transformed into a vibrant celebration of rhythm & blues, soul, and rock'n'roll by the legendary band The Loved Ones. Their electrifying performance left an indelible mark on the audience, showcasing an extraordinary connection between the band and their fans. Following the success of that unforgettable night, this iconic Californian band returns to the stage to present their new album, Latest Hits, offering another chance to enjoy their unmistakable sound and relive the spirit of classic rhythm & blues clubs.

A Cult Band from the Californian Mod Scene

Formed in 1990 in Oakland, California, The Loved Ones quickly rose to prominence as one of the most respected bands in the West Coast mod scene. Drawing inspiration from groups like The Yardbirds, they developed a unique style that blends Chicago blues, Memphis soul, New Orleans rhythm & blues, and garage rock, all delivered with a visceral and infectious stage presence.

In 1992, they signed with the prestigious Hightone Records, releasing two albums and a single that became genre-defining references. Their reputation as a live band led them to tour extensively across the United States and Europe, sharing the stage with legends such as John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells, and Ann Peebles.

Latest Hits: The Return of a Legendary Formation

Although the band officially disbanded in 1995, its members continued to pursue notable careers. Guitarist Xan McCurdy joined Cake, while Bart Davenport built a successful solo career. After several reunions, The Loved Ones have reunited with their original lineup, featuring Bart Davenport on vocals and acoustic guitar, Xan McCurdy on lead guitar, Michael Therieau on bass and vocals, and John Kent on drums.

Their new album, Latest Hits, produced in collaboration with musician Nick Waterhouse, captures the essence of the band: direct rhythm & blues, sharp guitars, character-filled melodies, and an unwavering passion for rock'n'roll roots. The Loved Ones continue to blend tradition, personality, and energy, making them a standout act from the '90s scene.
