After a nearly decade-long drought, the world will again taste the live, dripping distortion of the Jesus And Mary Chain. Asked why a reunion, why now, Mary Chain's Jim Reid responded via press release, "Why not?" According to the release, both Reid and his brother William had wanted to reunite for quite some time, their last performance, in 1998, being "such a bloody awful mess... that [it] was no way for the Mary Chain to end." As their redemptive rock'n'roll Hail Mary, the Mary Chain will take on the Coachella Festival in April and the Spanish Summercase Festival in July. As of yet, there are no plans for future shows or a new Jesus And Mary Chain record, though Jim Reid stated, "Maybe." Tour Dates For Jesus And The Mary Chain: 04.27 – Indio, CA – Coachella Festival 07.13 – Madrid, Spain – Summercase Festival, Boadilla Del Monte 07.14 – Barcelona, Spain – Summercase Festival, Parc Del Forum www.jesusandmarychain.org
