Ned's Atomic Dustbin are the latest bygone band to announce a reunion, with a single show at London's Astoria this Dec. 6. Much as I love their double-bassed assault, aren't we running out of bands that can reunite during this decade? As far as I can see, the list is composed of The Smiths, Pavement, Uncle Tupelo, and... uh... I mean, I guess Milli Vanilli can't really count... [NME]

Re: Milli Vanilli -- To whatever extent they count, one of them is dead, so it seems rather unlikely. Although I suppose the real singers could tour. Did those guys ever put out a record of their own?
/too lazy/apathetic to look it up on wikipedia myself
So how many times can N.A.D. play "Grey Cell Green" at one show? Is there an over/under?
@The Notorious T: What? The first two Neds albums are great front-to-back, and the third one isn't complete trash. They've got plenty to build a setlist from.
Always a perfect excuse to pick up another T-shirt.
@The Notorious T: Come to think of it, that song wasn't really about anything except getting high.
Jawbreaker! that's a fucking reunion.
Ride comes to mind.
and, um, Butterglory?
This isn't the first reunion attempt by Ned's. They were back together briefly in the early 00's, and set to play NYC at CMJ 2001 which was canceled because of 9/11. Not only did they opt to not come back and play the rescheduled CMJ later that year, they broke up again.
They put out a pretty decent live record documenting the reunion as well, which was pretty rocking.
Ned's B-sides were always better than the album cuts. "Terminally Groovy" or "Nothing is Cool" anyone?
Adorable?
Elastica?
the Primitives?
Please, please, please!
How about Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet. I've been watching alot of Kids In The Hall on the YouTube lately.
Ooh... Adorable. Good one.
Animals that Swim?
i wouldn't mind seeing Hot Water Music again.
menswe@r? candy skins? northside?
@coolfer: three good choices, for sure.
@Dick Laurent is dead.: Adorable would be good, too.
I'm holding out hope for a Kitchens of Distinction reunion. I remember seeing them at the old 9:30 Club in DC back when "Drive That Fast" was on WHFS four times a day. Such a delightful group...
another bad creation?
@telecomic the scary red panda: KOD = absolutely
@Clevertrousers:
Sorry man, one of those Shadowy Men are dead too... you could always just go to the Kids in the Hall reunion and hear them blast Having an Average Weekend....
re: NAD, "grey cell green" is good, but i've always been partial to "happy" as well...i used to have a cassette of god fodder somewhere...
re: reunions, I AM STILL PRAYING FOR SCRAWL. do any of you idolator VIPs know what is up with this?????
