2013 Reunion Wishlist/Speculation Thread

[amyzzz]

Stone Roses
Cardigans
Depeche Mode

And I had a dream last night that I was trying to contact Lush to get them to reunite.

[with_cheese]

why....? Everyone is still around. Slug is still on good terms w/ anticon. as is Sole. W/ Coachella pulling Company Flow this year, and several decent underground acts in the past, its obvious they know their stuff.

All of them are doing their own thing now and live in different parts of the country. If I recall correctly Dose is in Oakland/Berkeley, Sole is in Texas, Slug in Minnesota and Alias with his family in Maine. Convincing the four of them to get together and practice for a one off performance that realistically nobody gives a shit about would be a tough sell.

A more realistic underground act would be Cannibal Ox, but I can't see that happening either.

[Coachella Bound]

practice.....??? You do know they made that album in 2 days......??? Not much to practice. And you forgot to mention Jel and Abilities.

Fact is theyve never lived in the same vacinity, and to pull them all out to California wouldnt be that difficult considering theyre all still active and could tour seperately around the 2 weekends. I think a lot of people would be interested once they realized what it was.

Just had two thirds of Sleater Kinney here this year with Wild Flag, and SK already played '05 or '06 during their Woods Tour, and Janet Weiss was here in '08 with the Jicks. Love SK, but not sure this is a high priority reunion just yet.

Superheavy with Mick Jagger and Damian Marley

Huge reunion was leaked to me today. They are going to kick off their reunion tour at Coachella.

Here is the background story. I was in the office of a co-worker in an industry that is so far distanced from music and entertainment that it isn't even funny. There was some Stagecoach memorabilia in the office, and so I made some comment like, "Oh, do you go to Stagecoach?"

Them: "Yes, every year."
Me: "Oh, I go to Coachella every year."
Them: "So do I! I've been every year because of [INSERT BUSINESS CONNECTION WITH GOLDENVOICE.] My favorite acts have been Paul McCartney and Madonna."
Me: "Cool".
BLAH BLAH BLAH BUSINESS
Them (as I am leaving the door): "But you'll never guess who they have for next year."

I get all excited thinking it's a headliner. It's not, but I'm guessing second liner. They say "BLAHBLAHBLAH".

It's pretty big.

I'm not going to ruin anything for anybody, because I do think it will be a great left field surprise, but I am going to leave vague enough clues that when the act ends up on the poster, I can bump this thread and be all like, "Told you I knew what I was talking about." Because I'm an ass.

Band, not solo singer
80s era
At least one member has significant name recognition outside of the band
Has not been mentioned so far in this thread
No way Bonnaroo or Lolla will book it

Have fun. And now I will insert a word in this thread so I can search for it and bump it when January comes out: Rapscallion.

See you then.

[witham]

Are you sure The Smiths haven't been mentioned in this thread ?

[travelfan]

Hah, trust me, I'd probably leak it if it was The Smiths. But the act in question is definitely not headliner material.

That's the last clue or response I'll give. Until January when it becomes really obvious who I was talking about. See you then suckas.

[KungFuJoe]

Sugarcubes or Wham! ?

[VOLVOX17]

DEPECHE MODE WITH ALAN AND VINCE BACK TO MAKE THEM A 5 PIECE.
GRANDADDY
SOUL COUGHING - NEVER EVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN
7A3
NWA
TEMPLE OF THE DOG

Hopefully the people you talked to weren't bluffing you/not 100% sure/etc. Curious to see who it "is" but won't be surprised at the ol' "Oh it didn't work out"

It's New Edition y'all

nvm they're touring now. oh well my next guess is frankie goes to hollywood

All I'll say is that it would be a really odd name for a bluff. Kind of like that dude last year that tweeted ATDI/Refused (but different genre and era, obviously). Totally plausible, but not a name people are speculating about, or that there is a ton of news about either. And the connection to the festival is strong enough (although in a weird sort of way) that I don't doubt they'd have the info.

If it doesn't end up on the poster, I'll come back and say who it was as well.

[amyzzz]

Culture Club?

[Neighborhood Creep]

Just say the fucking name. No one cares if you ruin the surprise. We spend the whole year trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together with tour dates, rumors, etc.

[with_cheese]

I'm signing every post with 'Rapscallion'.

[swdshfsk]

HUSKER DU
Phil Elverum as The Microphones
Fugazi

^^This, and...

- Talk Talk
- Slint
- Dismemberment Plan (are they "broken up" again?)
- Sunny Day Real Estate (see above)
- R.E.M. (still can't believe they never made a Coachella appearance)

[Bumblebee]

Culture Club?

really solid guess. A Madonna fan would be excited, Lolla/Roo wouldn't touch it and defintitely a sub or outdoor stage act.

I think they have an anniversary coming up in 2013 and a rumour has been whispered/mulled about the past couple years. Boy Georges legal hiccups could've taken a couple months to clear. BG has connections to the EDM world.

Talk Talk I like but it wouldn't sub.

The Jam?

Replacements?

Soundgarden with Hiro on bass?(kidding)

[Bumblebee]

Eurythmics is a very snug fit on all the clues.

[xuclarockerx]

ooh ooh ooh

10,000 Maniacs.

[Bumblebee]

ooh ooh ooh

10,000 Maniacs.

I'll raise you a "'Til Tuesday"

[gaypalmsprings]

I was listening to our local rap/hip hop station yesterday when they played back-to-back Depeche Mode songs. It seemed totally random. Coachella 2013!

[Coachella Bound]

Talking Heads or Oingo Boingo.....

Talking Heads would headline though.... so. Oingo Boingo is the correct answer.

[FEELS]

but he said "has not been mentioned in this thread so far"..

[aguadulce]

Culture Club sounds like the best guess.

I think Oingo Boingo could headline a friday night. They were always huge in LA and have a ton songs that got
radio play.

[aguadulce]

If it is 10,000 Maniacs - I'd love to see them get Billy Bragg and Wilco and they could do a bunch of Mermaid Ave stuff with Natalie Merchant.

[TickleMeElmo]

Oingo Boingo could not headline Coachella. Ever.

[cormaic]

The Beta Band

[Coachella Bound]

but he said "has not been mentioned in this thread so far"..

yeah yeah... I know, I know. But Danny and David have deff made names for themselves.

Oingo Boingo could not headline Coachella. Ever.

I think the magnitude of the reunion, and the fact that a big big chunk of their fanbase is here in California, could put them in a friday night headliner spot.
