June 26, 200718 yr I didn't see this one coming quite yet! Oh its obvious they would seeing as they had only been plodding along solo and with The Shining. Think they're one of these bands that split up, get back together, split up again, get back together every 6 years or so :lol: not like Crowded House which you wouldnt think seeing that the drummer (?!?!?) commited suicide. However does that mean that TGTBTQ has ended as a working project and Blur is back as well?
June 26, 200718 yr Brilliant news. One of the best bands of the 90's. Hope they come back with great material :D
June 26, 200718 yr Well Blur are all coming back together (including Graham Coxon) to do one final album apparently.
June 26, 200718 yr Great news about The Verve - good to see that they are no longer "History". :D Personally, if you have to blame an act for starting this 21st Century craze for reforming then it is Duran Duran's fault after they reformed in 2002 with their famous 1980-1985 (Taylor x3, Rhodes, LeBon) line-up.
June 26, 200718 yr Wasn't Urban Hymns full of songs that Richard Ashcroft were going to release on his own but decided to release them through The Verve, so really this modern material will just be like an Ashcroft solo effort? A bit like a solo Johnny Borell....there'd be no difference Excellent news though
June 26, 200718 yr Author The Verve are reportedly reforming for a new album and autumn tour. The band’s four original members, Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury, were recording in a London studio last week, according to a statement on www.theverve.tv. The statement adds that the band will return to the studio to complete the album after a summer break and that they will play six UK shows in November. These are: Glasgow Academy, November 2-3, Blackpool Empress Ballroom, November 5-6, and London Roundhouse, November 8-9. Tickets go on sale July 6. Led Zeppelin are also reported to be reforming for a world tour as well as a concert in tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Erttegun, who died last year. source: Music Week
June 26, 200718 yr YAY!!!, and even playing the Roundhouse, the venue where I picked up an injury from a flying drumstick!! :D.

October 27, 200717 yr I love that one song that was huge in America back in the 90's. Don't know the name though :lol:
