More Bauhaus gigs? Cocteau Twins reform?

Coming on top of the DCD reunion, this is starting to sound quite entertaining.

Sounds like someone ripped of Bauhause for that new(ish) LandRover advert.

[zotz]

Haven't seen it, I'm afraid. Worth catching for curiosity's sake?

[mxhaunted.livejournal.com]

Kinda. It's a blatant rip off but different enough for them not to get sued. I think it’s off Bela Lugosi's Dead. After looking around a bit it could be some geeza called Howie B, but my Internet connection is shite so I can’t double check if it is. :/

It's the intro to BLD.

[zotz]

Commercial breaks and beats seem to be having database issues. That's where I've been told to check on these things in the past.

No MBV as yet ?

[zotz]

Not as yet, no. Shields has been interviewed and said that it was possible but not imminent, IIRC. Ho hum.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Bauhaus gigs? When, where? Link? :)

[zotz]

They're on the bill of a festival in southern California at the end of April.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'll not get excited yet then. Unless they play a festival in North Yorkshire in the 3rd week in April...

[hirez.livejournal.com]

No, that's PWEI, PE and New Order...

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

In your dreams... :)

[zotz]

One cloud feels lonely. It's likely there'll be more dates. Unless that one's a disaster.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

It's the Pixies' fault. One band get back together and do a great tour that everyone goes nuts for, and then everyone's doing it! PWEI pulled it off brilliantly, but somehow I doubt most others can :/

[zotz]

Well, the Poppies were great, and I've heard good things about Gang of Four and the Fire Engines too.

[steer.livejournal.com]

But Bauhaus have already done the reforming and playing a few dates thing (and pulled it off brilliantly) a few years ago.

[zotz]

There does seem to be a rash of 4AD bands, though. Maybe the Birthday Party will have another brief get-together? That's another one that's happened before. Minus Tracey, obviously.

[steer.livejournal.com]

*grin* Well, I would sooner see the Cocteau Twins myself -- though I can't imagine their gigs exactly rock.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Do you think they can do it again?

I have a feeling I'll end up going to gigs if they play here...

[steer.livejournal.com]

Well, I will certainly go along again. I saw them on three dates of the last lot and didn't regret it (though Pete Murphy looks something like a tubby Caligula these days).

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

I saw them at Brixton in '98 and thought they were awful, like some dreadful cartoon karaoke version of Bauhaus.

[steer.livejournal.com]

To each their own -- I was there and loved it. But I never saw them first time around.

[casilda.livejournal.com]

And they will both be touring in April no doubt.....

God's Teeth

Are you joking?!?!

Certainly not. Follow the link to the festival program (reply to Fiona, above) or google for the Cocteau Twins website.
