Late last year, after the annual Bullz-Eye holiday party, a couple of members of the music staff did what they do best: they bellied up to the bar and drank some more. We began talking about bands we wish we had seen while we had the chance, which led to a conversation about which bands we’d like to see get back together. Along with some obscure favorites (we will not sleep until Sugarbomb makes another record), the three bands that we all wanted to see get back together were the Police, Squeeze and Crowded House.
It is now six months later, and guess who’s coming to a shed, pub or coliseum near you? Yep, the Police, Squeeze and Crowded House.
What this means, of course, is that we have magical powers, and that by merely wishing something to be, it soon is. It also means that it was only a matter of time before we were wholly corrupted by our newfound abilities, and what began as a good-natured chat about bands that left too soon became a diatribe about which bands just need to freakin’ stop already. It was therefore decided: for every band that we reunite, another band must be torn asunder. And on that note, it’s time to crack some skulls.
