Surprise reunions for 2009

I was recently surprised to find out that Magazine will be reuniting for 2 gigs in February 2009. I'm still not sure who will be taking guitarist John McGeoch's place, but if I lived near London or Manchester I would definitey be buying tickets for this.

Visit the official Magazine myspace.
Visit Shot By Both Sides - an excellent Magazine fansite.

Also, although I don't think its been announced yet, I've heard from a very good source that the Comsat Angels will be playing some reunion shows in the UK as well.

Visit Sleep No More - an excellent Comsats fansite.
