year, without a new album?
Yep. It's called "Oh Shit! I gotta pay the rent!"
Rubbish, they were persuaded to reform, presumably by Mute, because of
the huge resurgence of interest.
According to their web site, they were only supposed to do a couple of
outdoors shows, just for old time's sake (Like the Skuppy reunion at the
Doom's day festival)), but then they got bitten by the show bug and
decided to do a world tour to places they'd never been before... Right.
Yeah, it's easier to disbelieve their story - especially when there had been
rumours and calls for the reformation for years before it actually happened
that they vehemently denied. It's very obvious that the reformation was in
response to demand, not for the money. Let me reiterate - Bon is loaded and
doesn't need the money.
Post by Francois LabrequePost by Girl <last name>Whatever about Doug - who's been doing relatively underground stuff like
Fixmer/McCarthy - Bon's loaded (working
with million-sellers like Marilyn Manson and Smashing Pumpkins is fairly
rewarding). And they were absolutely brilliant when they played London.
What does that have to do with anything? They've always been good on stage.
Normally the reason to bitch about bands reforming is that they're obviously
only doing it for the money. Not only were they great onstage and clearly
enjoying it - they played Slimelight the night before to a tiny crowd. Not
the kinda thing bands do for the money.
