'Pre-punk '70s' band reforming - but who?

yeah, of course, The Faces :o

was only reading about plans for them to get back into the rehearsal studio about two weeks ago. wonder if a Glastonbury spot is on the cards for them?
 
Brotherhood of man?

The Wurzles?

The Wombles? (Gotta be a good change of that - Orinoco is out of rehab and Madame Cholet's solo career has hit the rocks)
 
other than the Faces, the biggest early 70's 'rock' band, all of whose members are stil alive, must be <gulp> Genesis.

Did Womad lose money again this year? Gabriel need the dosh??

(The Kinks must count as a 60's band I guess, so it won't be there also highly trailed reunion)

Are you sure they're all alive?

I mean, I'd like someone else to confirm this...
 
@ belboid :p

Anyway, on a sadder note, of course not all of the Faces are still with us. Ronnie Lane passed away in 97.

Tetsu Yamauchi is still around, though.
 
completely fucking worthless without Gabriel tho, aren't they? His presence would probably get a massive audience for a one off or two, a la Zeppelin
 
not racey?

I reckon I'd risk a few quid on seeing the Faces play. They were a top band.

Yeah...could be good.

Rod's voice is fucked now, but MacLagan's being playing some great gigs the last few years and performing Ronnie Lane songs. Ronnie Wood is drunk, or sober, depending on which paper you read, but can play regardless, Kenny Jones will just sit quietly and do as he's told, Tetsu plays jazz now and was never a good face anyway - couldn't hold his liquor or his drugs - they effectively turned him into an alcoholic...I can't see him returning for the gig. Maybe they'll use Daryll Jones from the Stones, he's solid enough to do the job, stand at the back and just get on with it. I don't wanna see someone well known stepping into Lane's shoes.
 
oddly, http://www.facesreunion.com - The Faces Reunion - The Official Website - seems to be registered to Triumph Interiors, who's tagline is 'Creative Excellence In Healthcare Design'

There must be some joke about them all being nearly dead in there somewhere
