[kj] comebacks / reunions

[vanessa luff]

The Chamelons comeback at the Academy (we missed the five small Witchwood gigs beforehand) was awesome.  The years between had just seen them mature as musicians.  We had approximately two years after that of great live performances.  Yes initially many of us were disappointed with the WCIA album but there are some standout tracks that got better with each live performance.

The Pixies - now THAT was a comeback....I think I blubbed through much of the Brixton gig.

  I wouldn't personally say that The Chameleons come back CD "Why call it anything" was dire, for a band that had not recorded together for 13 years particularly, however besides that "excuse", there are some good songs on the album I think...fantastic gigs too, went to several, and Mark Burgess as well live, brilliant,  always a great perfomer and great song writer.  Live in hope that they sort out their differences again though.

    Some recent favourites...
    Gang Of Four - the come back gig in Manchester was blistering, one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
    Chameleons - again some fantstic come back gigs. The new (then) CD was dire. Now split again.
    Senser - OK gigs, fantastic new CD. Still going.
    Pixies - great gigs and no more records. Still doing more gigs ?
    Would love to see the Sugarcubes gig in Iceland.

    Should get back together - the KJ of the WTF.../Revelations era

    Brian.

        I also liked the Bauhaus reunions. The '98 reunion was hailed as better than their 80s
       performances, and the 2005 tour was even better than the '98 tour. IMO 
      however Peter mellowed his performance, Daniel Ash (w/bass backbone of David J) 
      more than made up for. His playing is superphenomenal live. 
         And Gang Of Four in 2005, tho' never saw 'em 1st time round, were better than any
       rock gig i've ever seen. Also, i've never seen a better channelling and incarnation of 
      the crowd's primal urges during the show.

        As for KJ, a true experiment, yay verily, a True experiment would be Geordie to 
      reunite with Big Paul and Youth to record a CD of what-ev-er-they-want.
