I thought I'd had my fill of musical comebacks, but Dodgy's new album is a revelation Self-evidently, there are all kinds of issues surrounding the modern mania for musical comebacks. Increasingly, browsing through the live ads at the back of rock magazines suggests there will soon be nothing else, as not just bands but entire genres decide to patch things up, and have another go. If you doubt this, consider the knock-on effects of the Stone Roses reunion : a full-blown baggy resurrection that has also put jump-leads on the Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets. For reasons that are ...

For a band who only ever released two albums, one of which was rubbish, The Stone Roses continue to maintain a prominent place in pop culture, in the U.K. at least. And the Manchester favorites, behind tracks like "I Am The Resurrection" and "She Bangs The Drum" are cementing their place in 2012 with a long-awaited reunion, playing three sold-out hometown gigs this June (which will be filmed by Shane Meadows) ahead of festival apperances later in the year. Which is fortuitous for the makers of "Spike Island."  The comedy-drama, which follows a group of 16-year-old bandmates traveling to ...

“Take,” the first single from L.A. quartet Nacosta, announces itself with a swirling, serpentine guitar riff that recalls the hazy, crazy days of the Stone Roses or the Cult. Their debut EP “Wilderness City” is not all delay and distortion, though — Nacosta also dwells in the more contemplative, acoustic shadows of psych-rock, where fear [...]

Gary “Mani” Mounfield, bass player for The Stone Roses, went to an ATM to withdraw money to buy bread and milk and was gobsmacked to find an extra  £1.8 million in his account. It was an advance for the recently re-formed band’s world tour. Naturally he put off his grocery shopping and headed to the boozer to celebrate. The UK dates were the fastest-selling in UK history, and set to gross £12 million. 225,000 tickets for three shows in Manchester in late June sold out in an hour, with the f ...

Bon on ne va pas se mentir: je suis pas un spécialiste de hip hop… Moi mon truc, c’est la (pip) pop: God only knows est la plus belle chanson de tous les temps et on n’a jamais fait mieux que le premier LP des Stone Roses. Ceci étant posé, il m’arrive de prendre plaisir [...]

SULK From: London, United Kingdom Madchester returns. Yes The Stone Roses, The Happy Mondays and The Inspiral Carpets are back. All we need now is a Charlatans album and the rebirth of Northside (well maybe not) and we could host our own version of the musical antiques roadshow. Londoners SULK have clearly been reading the runes. They may have been born within the sound of the bow bells but with their shaggy bowl cuts, youthful arrogance and psych lite tunes Afflecks Palace is clearly their spiritual homeland. They couldn't be more Madchester if they donned a pair of 20 ...

Returning this year are familiar faces armed with a new collection of songs. Looking ahead, here are a selection of those to be most excited about. MAJOR LAZER “Now that people know what Major Lazer is we can skip a lot of the ground work,” beams the globe-trotting chameleonic don of dance Diplo, who makes up one-half of neo-dancehall outfit Major Lazer alongside fidget-house producer Switch. The dynamic duo dropped debut ‘Guns Don’t Kill People - Lazers Do’ in mid-2009, a storming collaborative frenzy that fused authentic Jamaican riddims with modern bass-heavy hip-hop. Its successor, the Philadelphian explains, is set ...

General Music News : Bassist Mani couldn't believe his luck when he went to buy some milk and discovered he was a millionaire.

Now that the Stone Roses have reunited, it's time for the other titan of the late '80s Madchester scene to ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/happy-mondays-announce-another-reunion/61132/

I'm delighted to see the pretence that the Stone Roses reunion is about anything other than the money has been formally dropped today, with Gordon running a story which is one stop short of a naked Ian Brown rolling in a vat of ten bob bits : STONE ROSES bassist Mani was left speechless after visiting a cashpoint – he'd become £1.8million richer overnight. [...] Mani told pals back home in Stockport: "It's madness. I only went out to buy milk and things. "I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly £2million in while I wasn't ...

I know, I know; we can hardly hear ourselves think above the noise of church bills ringing out for the reunion of The Happy Mondays. Well, not actual reunion; it's just the continuation of the second reunion, only now with the all-important original line-up of Bez, Shaun Ryder and... erm... you know, the other... two? Three? Was one of them called Spanky? There's something ironic in Rowetta making the announcement to the BBC that the original line-up of Mucka, Ducka, Trucka, Sucka and Bez; given that presumably she won't be involved. Had the band that was playing ...
