Artists We Like: The Smiths


Frankly, Mr. Shankly we were a little surprise to hear that The Sun is reporting The Smiths "are closer than ever" to reuniting for a one-off headlining performance at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA next year. Smith's frontman Morrissey has repeatedly vowed never to appear on stage with former bandmates guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke or drummer Mike Joyce. But I guess Morrissey is human and wants to get paid, I mean loved, just like everybody else does, as The Sun is reporting event organizers have "massively upped" the £2.8million bid that Morrissey turned down in 2006. Says Morrissey to promotors: "Oh, give us your money!"
Shanks and praise: Pink is the New Blog
[Update: NME's reporting that Johnny Marr's management dismissed reports of The Smith's reuniting for Coachella 2009 as "rubbish." Oh well, never mind]
