Bands that should reform, or perhaps never went away.
 

From other threads. I'm sure we've had this before, but I'm not much of a one for caring about duplicate threads.

So, given that it's very unlikely that the likes of the Pumpkins, MBV or The Pixies have any decent reason to reform except money (a fair reason, but I'm not going to their shows because of it), who should be reforming? We've had Loop and Slowdive nominated already, I'd like to see Cluster or, ideally, Urusei Yatsura reform. Let's have some thoughts.

NB - the Pistols are exempt from criticism. Not because they're the godfathers of punk or anything, but because they're entirely justified in being utter cunts. And long may they continue to be so.

Cluster broke up?
I didn't know that.

Someone from this board has seen them live, i think it was Savage Colone, and said it was the most boring concert he's ever been to.

definetly geraldine fibbers.

Only discovered they used to be great recently, I assumed they'd split up at some point. I am hence covered by the part of the thread title reading '...perhaps they never went away'. Ergo I win.

Congratulations.
Here's your cup






anyways
I don't know if they are still living, but i'd love to see 13th Floor Elevator.
oh yeah, and Captain Beefheart.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Slowdive
Fly Pan Am
Girls Against Boys

Those are the one who came in my mind first

I'd like to see the Smiths (even if a reunion will only happen because of the money).

Polvo is making one of my dreams come true even though its only for one show apparently and Unwound obviously.

I saw Cluster once.
I fell asleep. Seriously.

Ha, and, Out Hud!

faith no more

cibo matto

they reunited this summer or before, but they were performing ED: can't remember which album but they did a don't look back this summer.

I'm not shure if I really want to see Kyuss reunite, but it would be so so so exciting to see what they would come up with.

Bring back the Zombie Beach Boys.

Drive like Jehu, Crass, Big Black (yeah right), Integrity (hardcore needs a kick to the ass), DNA (another never will happen), John Cale and Lou Reed should get in the studio and make an experimental alblum, i cant think right now, a lotta punk bands could get back, but id fear it would never be the same. a part of me thinks bands that have broken up should stay broken up except for maybe a victory tour or something, but they shudnt start recoridng again, i mean if ure a great influential band why fuckin bother potentially fuckin up a close to perfect catalog. the only bands that have comeback and made excellent to good music are wire and mission of burma, the new dino jr aint bad either, but it certainly does not hold up to bug, YLAOM, or self titles, and the stooges alblum, cmon now. reunion tours=cool especially for the fans who were there from the beginning and the fans who were too young to see them live back in the day, reunion alblums=a very risky gamble that many of my favorite bands have totally shit all over.

big black did a reunion show last year

cluster played a show in london earlier this year, i very nearly almost went, but then my friend i was going with pulled out at the last minute and i while i was curious to see what they're up to nowadays (having only heard their 70s stuff) i thought theirs is the type of music that probably isn't that interesting live anyway, being electronic.

i'd like to see fushitsusha get back on it, find a new drummer or whatever it is that is preventing them from being an ongoing concern. also high rise, harry pussy, the shadow ring and the jesus lizard i'd like to see reform, just to see them live. there are plenty of bands i wished i'd seen but if they reformed they probably wouldn't be anything like i'd want them to be anyway.

also, not so much a reformation, but i'd like to see mark e smith get some musicians with a bit of imagination to join the fall. i think he's screwing himself by having this thing about not playing with people who like the fall, because that just leaves him to play with oasis fans and the like.

ikara colt!

Fugazi, Pavement, Guided by Voices and Unwound (so they can re-issue some albums)

Sisters of Mercy, please. I'd probably wee myself with excitement if they did a Don't Look Back of "First and Last and Always".

Weren't they touring only a couple of years ago or more recently? I'm dead sure that they were on the bill of one of those summer festivals that are generally played by bands like The Mission etc. The sort of festival nobody in the right mind likes going to.

All four great bands !

The Nerves

Yes, but the Sisters of Mercy that plays from time to time these days never strikes me as a "proper" Sisters of Mercy, it's Andrew Eldritch and a few hired hands.

Oh, yeah, I'd also like to see Bitch Magnet play, if anyone could arrange it.

I think bands usually break up for the right reasons, and therefore I don't see much point in reunions or whatever usually... only one band i can think of, though, that I'd LOVE to see get back together: captain beefheart. not "The magic band" (since they released an album and played some shows a few years ago), but captain beefheart himself WITH the magic band. The fact that they broke up immediately following their best album (and there's no bootlegs that I know of with "ice cream for crow" songs on it)... yeah.

The two bands that I've mentioned, I would be even more delighted with a reformation if I got to hear new recorded material from them as well to see them play.

I have seen them a couple of years ago. I was never too keen on them, but I came to appreciate them more.

One note about Dead Can Dance: they are a pair of fascists. We went to the after show party and they barred everyone from smoking in the building.

I didn't know that Silver Apples were still about, according to that racist turd. I'd like to see them live. Abba could be good if they reformed for a while. I can't really get all that excited about reunions, even if I try. One of the worst that I went to was The Velvet Underground. They were truly terrible. Death In June, on the other hand, were quite good when I've seen them live.

One of them died a few years ago, but Simeon is still alive and well and doing that thing he does. By co-incidence I was reading a review of one of their (his) shows only yesterday. It was in the current issue of Plan B, I think.

I've seen them supporting Depeche Mode - a truly awful experience indeed.

Well, yeah, I saw them about ten years ago and it was pretty poor. That's why I want a "proper" SoM.

Maybe what I want is a time machine set to take me back to 1984.

I faintly know the Sisters Of Mercy's current tour guitarist.

Nefeli - I don't know what I'm talking about. Whatever you want to impute is fine by me.

I'm tempted to list a load of bands from my teenhood, but they may disappoint the adult me. Although I'm sure that wouldn't apply to Prolapse.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Cibo Matto are excellent choices. Keep in mind that Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori both do solo projects, and they're great. If you haven't, check out "Smokey & Miho". It's Miho and a guitarist doing covers of Brazilian Folk songs

REFUSED (....are fucking dead)
RAEIN
HOT CROSS
Q AND NOT U

Yeah you're right (the album was Venus Luxure No1 Baby), but I meant, new album =( anyway in an interview in the french magazine Noise, one of the member (can't remember who) said they weren't planning any new album at all...

godheadsilo reforming would be okay, but enemy mine were better ...

the cows should have never broken up.

syrfox: that's the album i posted but then doubted about myself for a bit and just plain said i didn't remember which one.

never saw the big fuss about godheadsilo, they were ok but nothing special.

there lies the crux of the biscuit!

nirvana.
ha.

Hum
The (Original) Misfits (that means with Danzig)
