​The iconic rock band “The Sweet” is celebrating their 50th anniversary with special “Sweet Story Tellers” evening featuring a multi-media presentation integrating their high-energy stage show with original footage of the band’s early performances and audio interludes which brings the audience back in time.  The Sweet is bringing this special show to The Rose in Pasadena on Friday, August 16th 2019 at 9 p.m. and Bogies in Westlake Village on Sunday, October 20th 2019 at 7:30 p.m. 
 
One of the most influential British rock bands of all times “The Sweet” rose to worldwide fame in the 1970s as the premier glam rock act.  The band achieved a rocket ride to success with numerous hits including:  “Ballroom Blitz,” “Fox On The Run,” “Love Is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” “Action,” “Teenage Rampage,” “ACDC,” Blockbuster” and “Hell Raiser, to name just a few.  Around the world the group has sold over 55 million records.
