2013 Reunion Wishlist/Speculation Thread

[xuclarockerx]

2nd line/main stage subheadliner.

[IceyHotshot]

Thanks to travelfan I now have my hopes up for Talk Talk and it won't happen. Great.

[CaseSensitive]

Violent Femmes?

[GolfWang]

Violent Femmes?

ohhhh... shit. I hope this is the correct answer.

[Nealocus]

Violent Femmes?

Did we just become best friends?

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.

WHATS UP DAFT PUNK!!!!

[lt.roast.a.botch]

The Police?

[xuclarockerx]

No, that already happened and it's done. (LOL if i'm wrong)

[malcolmjama1awesome]

The Daft Punks will be reuniting. I have spoken to a credible source.

Goldenvoice is said to be in talks with The Smiths and the Sex Pistols as well.

[CaseSensitive]

Did we just become best friends?

We did! I just started making our friendship bracelets

I would flip OUT if the Violent Femmes were at Coachella next year!

[ods..]

The Beta Band

[DropletsOfYes&No]

Pretty Girls Make Graves, Mr Bungle(for lack of Mike Patton on the fields this year), The Smiths, and Cocteau Twins for 2013

[Buddha99]

Culture Club?

This and Eurythmics would be my guesses...

[melissakane]

The postal service would be excellent.
would it be too much to ask for Brand New too? haha

Done. I want pink and green with my name N-E-A-L in beads.

.

Can you hint, whether their name was including on that recent list of 100 bands that should play Coachella but havent? If its none of those, that would help people, yet not be obvious still.

[Neighborhood Creep]

Oingo Boingo

[obking100]

JAWBREAKER!!

although that operation IVY reunion would be bananas!!

on another note ABBA would be pretty righteous or INFEST the first ever power violent band

Talk Talk and Culture Club seem like the best bets. I tried to come up with a mental list of possibilities (The Replacements, Husker Du, Cocteau Twins, The Eurythmics, Fugazi) but they were all already mentioned earlier in this thread).

Not sure if this qualifies as "powerviolence" but this appears to be before Infest's time

[gswhooper]

Outkast with Bun B and a Pimp C hologram! (First and last hologram joke I will use)

[amyzzz]

This and Eurythmics would be my guesses...

Ooooh Eurythmics! I'd watch that.

[CaseSensitive]

Done. I want pink and green with my name N-E-A-L in beads.

Neal, if they play I will make you this exact bracelet as long as it comes with a high five that I will tell my grandchildren about one day.

There's been some traction on the Culture Club front the past couple years. Unlike the other examples cited above, CC have a frontman who's commited.

Not sure if they were waiting to have promoters lined up or ensure Boy George can get a US work visa.

Has BG done any stateside gigs in the past 4 years?

[TomAz]

YES to Oingo Boingo

The Replacements
Uncle Tupelo
Whiskeytown

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.

Why aren't we friends? We should be friends.

but.. not sure what a Whiskeytown 'reunion' would consist of.. Ryan and Caitlin and... who, exactly?

[ThatGirl]

Ooooh Eurythmics! I'd watch that.

That would be amazing for sure. Oingo Boingo too.

[euphonicfiend]

Oingo Boingo would be more than amazing!

[tulio31]

Any chance we see Blur? How about Fugazi?

[menikmati]

Fugazi? At an event with $349 tickets? Get real.

[Bumblebee]

Fugazi? At an event with $349 tickets? Get real.

Would the band do it if they were allowed to do whatever shows they wanted in the area that week?

Hasn't MacKaye himself attended a couple times?
