Your Annual My Bloody Valentine Reunion Rumor
My Bloody Valentine was hugely influential, having pretty much defined the shoegazing genre, and their mystique was only heightened by their dissolution after only two albums and the famous reclusiveness of Kevin Shields, the band's frontman and occasional Chicagoan. So it's no wonder that rumors surface every so often about a reunion show, tour, new album or some such thing.
The latest is this: MBV may get back together to play Coachella next year. The Daily Swarm has pulled together various reports from Shields interviews over the past few months in which he's mentioned a new album (and a retrospective), an '08 tour and other juicy hints. This coupled with a brand new MySpace band page and mybloodyvalentine.co.uk has recently been registered, and the Swarm thinks it all points to Coachella. Hmm...
At any rate, take the rumor with a grain of salt, but evidence certainly has been mounting. Time will tell.
