I hope they play live here this year. Seem to play in the US mainly.
I didn't realise they were still going and had assumed Gill's death meant the end of the group too
Presumably there's no original members now?
Ha, no, Just checked. Apparently...
Jon King and Hugo Burnham reunited in 2022 with Sara Lee, who joined the band in 1981 and recorded on their third and fourth albums "Songs of the Free" and "Hard", and joined on guitar by David Pajo of Slint. The band toured the US in March 2022 in support of the 77-81 box set, which won a Grammy Nomination.
In January 2023, a US show was announced: the band will play at the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena, California on May 20, 2023
Wow. How did I miss that?
I'm guessing they'd all fallen out with Andy Gill but still get on with each other fine
