Pulp reunion on the cards

Tue 27th Oct, 2009 in International News

After years of declaring it’d never happen, Jarvis Cocker has suggested Pulp will be airing out its skivvies for a return to the stage. The – œ90s Britpop heroes stopped working together after 2001’s We Love Life, but it seems any hard feelings have been put to rest.

Cocker this week told UK newspaper The People that the band is interested in “coming back” for the already sold-out 2010 Glastonbury Festival. “Glastonbury means an awful lot to me, I would love to play there again,” he hinted in an interview. “We’ve talked about it. There we go – there’ll be a band reunion.”

The Pulp frontman is of course headed our way in December for the Meredith Music Festival to charm us with songs from his second solo album Further Complications. Given Stephen Malkmus’s recent tour was closely followed by the announcement of Pavement shows down under, we can only hope the same sequence of events follows Mr CockerÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

^ Muppet forum user.

Would be far more exciting than a Pavement reunion. At least this one would sell out.

Pulp deny reunion rumours
Pulp will definitely not be reforming, PS can reveal.

Newspapers have made the claim for the last two weeks.

But Jarvis Cocker told PS: "I can categorically tell Teletext that Pulp have no plans to get back together. Someone asked me if I fancied playing at the 40th anniversary of Glastonbury, I said yes, they twisted that into a 'Pulp reform' story. It's not true."

Howsabout that, fucker? and also snapple shouldn't you be going on the road to see your favorite band green day. I can see how you'd fit in with all the image concious fifteen year olds as well your music taste hasn't developed much since that age.

Let me tell you this, you stupid little cuntball, Jarvis Cocker has more lyrical talent in one of his pubes than Ben G. will ever have in his whole life.

"illuminate the 'no's' on the vacancy signs" ...... oh my, what brilliance. does a four-year old retard write his songs?

I am a big Jarvis Cocker fan so there is probably some bias in this, but Jarvis Cocker has to be one of the best lyricists in recent music history.

you're aware that "oh yeah well you're stupid because you like band X", repeated in every single forum thread, is completely meaningless...

Afraid not this is hardcore and different class are terribly overrated albums that still rape the indie dancefloor sect. Thank christ purple sneakers doesn't play shite songs like common people to death.

emmawheatley

emmawheatley said on the 28th Oct, 2009

Terribly overrated? I don't know about that. Maybe a little over hyped by people who don't understand what they're about and how they fit into the very, very long history of Pulp.

To me they're the kind of band that makes more and more sense the further back and deeper you look. Jarv's new stuff has been (in my opinion) an excellent continuation of themes that have been developed for many years.

saw them livid 1997 i really wish i went to the sideshow as the set was ruined by moronic festival crowds. Neil did a nervous breakdown on that tour mind you.
