THE SMYTHS - ‘MEAT IS MURDER’ at 40 + Hits & More
+ Guests: KEELEY

7:30pm Saturday 8th November 2025, Roadmender, Northampton

We are very pleased to announce The Smyths are returning to The Roadmender Northampton on Sat 8th November 2025 following their packed out at the venue in 2024.

2025 sees the 40th anniversary of The Smiths’ legendary second album “Meat is Murder”. Arguably the band’s most controversial release (the band considered it as a protest album), not only did it do more than anything in pop culture to encourage a generation to become vegetarians, it was the first album to introduce Morrissey’s criticism of the Royal Family. Coming a year on from the band’s debut, “Meat Is Murder” showed the band moving it’s musical might to a muscular new sound (whilst still maintaining it’s ability to produce heart-breaking beautiful songs).

The Smyths present “Meat is Murder “a show that will celebrate the album alongside a full collection of classic hits and more from The Smiths.

Special Guest KEELEY, fronted by singer, guitarist, songwriter and enigmatic Dubliner Keeley Moss is a band brimming with songs showcasing the breadth of her songwriting. They bristle with lush harmonies, muscular beats and inventive atmospherics, weaving gleefully between indie-rock sub- genres and further establishing Keeley Moss as one of Ireland’s most creative songwriters.
In her songwriting, Keeley Moss continues her ongoing fascination with the murder and short life of teenage German backpacker Inga Maria Hauser, who was brutally murdered in Northern Ireland in 1988 and whose case remains unsolved despite many promising leads pointing to the culprits. As an authority on the subject, she recently appeared in “Murder In The Badlands”, a moving BBC documentary that further explores Inga Maria’s tragic demise, and a brand-new film centred around Keeley’s involvement with the case is in development.
The live band is currently a trio featuring Keeley Moss on guitar and vocals, Lukey Foxtrot on bass and former Morrissey drummer Andrew Paresi.
In 2024 the band is enjoying the successes of headline shows and being the tour support of choice for Echobelly, The Smyths and Miki Berenyi amongst others.

Tickets priced £18 are on sale from Tue 5th August from the venue website & Seetickets.
