Since forming in Liverpool in 2005, the band have built up a formidable reputation as the leading tribute act to The Smiths.
Their trump card is a singer with uncannily similar vocal chords to Morrissey's.
"We aim to recapture the atmosphere and excitement of a mid-Eighties Smiths concert, with flowers, spectacles, open shirts, triumphant sing-alongs and glowing faces," says singer and Morrissey impersonator Jurgen Wendelen.
Originally from Antwerp, he joined the band when he moved to Liverpool in 2005.
The Smiths Indeed are promising a fantastic night of nostalgia for those who remember the distant days in the mid-1980s when The Smiths lit up the world of popular music.
For those who weren't even born then or were otherwise engaged, they offer a great opportunity to witness what it might have been like to see The Smiths live. After all, a Smiths Indeed show is meant to be a celebration of The Smiths. Apportez vos fleurs.
The Smiths Indeed were also behind the recent Facebook campaign to give The Smiths their first ever British number one on the 25th anniversary of one of their most successful records.
The band are hoping 'How Soon Is Now' will be back in the charts to celebrate the February 1985 release of Meat Is Murder.
