According to the Daily Swarm, 2008 may finally be the year that My Bloody Valentine reunites. The legendary band's frontman Kevin Shields already insisted in a Magnet interview earlier this year that his former group is "100% going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we die or something." The Daily Swarm posted yesterday that, according to "sources in the United States and the United Kingdom who are familiar with the negotiations," MBV will be reuniting to headline next year's Coachella festival (April 25-27) before embarking on a world tour. So far, Coachella founder/ musical programmer Paul Tollett has refused to comment on any rumors.
So, hipsters, is it too soon to stop staring at your shoes and break out the celebratory bottles of André? Would an MBV reunion be quote un-quote relevant, or even any good? Will Trent Reznor be weighing in on this reunion? Stay tuned!
