Celebrating 40 Years of Flaunt the Imperfection
One of the highlights of 2025 will doubtless be the very special run of shows China Crisis
are bringing to audiences around the world to celebrate the ruby anniversary of their
watershed classic and perpetual fan-favourite 1985 release, Flaunt the Imperfection.
Featuring hits including “Black Man Ray” and “King in a Catholic Style” and produced by
legendary Steely Dan founder Walter Becker, Flaunt the Imperfection has been called
everything from “soaring sophistipop” to “wistful and yearning”, and had songs described
as diversely as “giddily upbeat” to having a “cinematic, ambient mood”. What can be said
for certain is that no devotee of the band, young or old, will want to miss the chance to hear
this “small masterpiece” played live in its entirety when the band take to the road with it.
Gary and Eddie will be accompanied by a world class group of musicians performing the
album on these dates along with some of the best-loved songs from their prolific
catalogue. The music will be characteristically interspersed with personal anecdotes from
behind the scenes, and all the laughter and enjoyment Chinas’ concertgoers have come to
expect.
