[indietron]

Would portishead count? I would consider it more of taking a really long break

[Boourns]

Call me danny. Call me joey. Oh please don't go girl.

[suprefan]

Portishead doesnt count either. They never called it quits. blur is a grey area also, its just this time it includes all original members.



Cheech and Chong!!! They sing songs.

BF5 REUNITED!? WTF?! WHEN?!
Can we has for Coachella please?

And I'm looking for bands that the average person/music minded person will recognize. It's for one of the sample columns I'm writing for the USC paper. I'm trying to beat out the girl who has the music column now. It would be easy because she knows nothing about music and writes about Tegan and Sara, Fergie playing at a Casino, and how festivals are stupid. The only problem is the editor thinks she "shows her personality." WTF.

Anyway, if there's anything more along the lines of MBV/Portishead/Blur/Verve/BF5/NKOTB/Spice Girls/etc. that's what I'm looking for.

Blur did break up. After Think Tank, they stopped making music because of Graham Coxon, despite that he wasn't really in Think Tank. Not to mention that they are calling this embodiment of Blur a reunion.

Stone Temple Pilots
B-52s
The Pretenders

[Boourns]

The Pretenders split up?

[suprefan]

:: shrugs ::

[kitt kat]

Major hiatuses are OK. It's why I'll include Portishead and Blur.

[suprefan]

Ooooh, Filter, thats one that I forgot about.

[woogie846]

How has no one mentioned the Butthole Surfers?

[suprefan]

Ooooooooooooh, thats a good one. Oh ORBITAL IS BACK TOGETHER!?!?!


edit: sublime (without brad noell)

[Boourns]

I thought Filter never split up, just had a revolving lineup. At least that's what I gathered from wikipedia.

Is that Sublime rumor for real?

And yes, Orbital announced they are reuniting to play some festival next year. Really want them at Coachella to play the Sahara during the Killers.

[AquaFresh]

Jeff Mangum came out of hiding.

Some people will count it, some people won't.

[suprefan]

Yeah the Sublime one is legit. Filter was done for a few years ago. When Richard went back to rehab and they didnt do anything until this year. You could call it a long hiatus, but there was nobody form the last incarnation of the band. I woudl call it a breakup technically.

[TickleMeElmo]

This might help...

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks
Shudder to Think

[TomAz]

Stone Temple Pilots
B-52s
The Pretenders

The B-52s never split up. They've been playing Indian (errrrrrrrrr Native American) casinos for years.

The Pretenders are Chrissie Hynde and whoever she can get to roleplay with her. James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon are long dead.

[vinylmartyr]

Was sly and the family stone this year?

[vinylmartyr]

wiki said no

[breakjaw]

The Replacements & Big Star (minus the late Chris Bell RIP)
Not this year but recently and perfectly welcome at Coachella.
