Hopefully they'll avoid Carnival of Light tracks in favor of Nowhere stuff, eh? Just like Catherine Wheel (tho not nearly as good, IMO) they started off strong and finished rather weak.
Catherine Wheel's Christmas EP with covers of '30 Century Man', 'Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely' and 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver'? Fukken brilyunt, it were.
I kind of agree with oceanRain though - Catherine Wheel's early output was astoundingly good. They were the 3rd band I sent fanmail to (after Carter USM and Jacob's Mouse - all of them wrote back, and Jimbob sent me a hat - hurrah!).
Ride deny reformation rumours
Management tell NME.COM reunion reports are wrong
11.May.07 11:39am
Ride have denied reports they are about to reform.
Reports appeared in the press today (May 11) that the shoegazing stalwarts would reunite for Canadian festival NXNE, plus stage UK dates and release a DVD.
However NME.COM has spoken to the group's management who denied Ride are about to reform, saying there was no truth in the stories.
"This point in time would be the least likely for this kind of thing to happen - they're all very busy at the moment with individual commitments and very full schedules," explained the group's manager Dave Newton. "Having said that, if the organisers of NXNW want to get in touch with an offer, I'd have to put it to the boys."
Ride formed in Oxford in 1988 and were signed to Creation, before splitting in 1996.
Bandmember Andy Bell now plays bass in Oasis, Mark Gardener solo material is available from Soniccathedral.co.uk, while drummer Loz Collbert is currently playing drums with the Jesus and Mary Chain.
Their recorded material still holds its own, and the RAH show, the night before I left home to start university, will always be memorable. Undecided. Would love to see them play together again, but it makes me feel bloody old, when bands I loved as a teenager start contemplating reformations
:-O
HOLY CRAP!!!
Cool

I thought they'd
denied this story?
Ride
are better than Catherine Wheel!
Ha!
Ferment+Chrome>>>Nowhere. QED.
Did you ever hear
Catherine Wheel's Christmas EP with covers of '30 Century Man', 'Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely' and 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver'? Fukken brilyunt, it were.
Oh my goodness!
I'm not really into reformations but this one is something I can't miss.
quick
somone tell lyle, it might make him happy? lets hope its not all like tarantular (or whatever their last album was called)
no.
I've always hated Ride.
Now if the three remaining members could reform Lush, I would die an happy man !
Also
where does this leave Andy Bell and Oasis?
Oasis aren't
up to much at the moment though..
I knew you'd be the man
with all the up-to-date Oasis news.
my addiction
to NME.com paying off i see.
If they're going to play mostly early stuff,
fuckin' YEAH!!!

way to ruin my excitement.

Does anyone have the organiser of NXNW's telephone number?
heh
sorry dude. i got equally excited.
ill talk to dave myself though and find out.
Oh, the hopes raised
only to be horribly dashed. I thought I'd finally get the chance to see them. Oh well, just give it time...
balls!
never mind. hopefully it could be a diversionary tactic?
they split in 1996
and still have a manager ?
FFS!
that's just mean getting my hopes up.
i still say pavement will reform this year (you heard it from me first!)
Not sure if i'd want them to reform or not
