yes

man I just bought the Complete Singles Collection not too long ago, loving it so much!

Loving i once you get over putting Love from Outer Space on repeat.

No campaign to get "Baby milk snatcher" to number one?

AR Kane slips under the radar yet again!

I enjoyed 'em live back in the old days when they played the old 930 Club in W. DC.

Lol is BMS an anti-Thatcher song?

From their FB feed today -

And so ... after a brief hiatus of ... no, no that sounds crap and is a lie ...
So. After many years in life's wilderness of home and work and etc ... I have ... uh oh, that sounds really dumb!
OK.
Here we go.
Putting together some players and playing a gig this summer.
It will be A.R.Kane material.
It will be noisy. Mostly. And a bit quiet. In places.
Details to be confirmed almost soon.
How was that? Was that OK?

OMGWTF

whoa.

Yes

At the moment seems like it's a Rudy-only venture. It's not AR Kane if there's no Alex involved.

he made a point to say it wasn't a reunion. . . but then he did say he'd been in contact with former AR Kane members. So sounds like he's doing it whether Alex will or not.

Meh

they prob heard the new young fathers album and thought they need to get in there.

I'm glad I got to see them back in the late 90s. It was the NewClear Child tour but they didn't hold back from getting their feedback on. Was glorious.

Oh man, I need to see this. Hope I can get a ticket.

imo "haunting" is the single best shoegaze

^I dont agree totally but Iits def way high up there!

fighting with my ex- about A.R. Kane kinda ruined them for me, but this news is monumental enough to merit an eyebrow raise from me at the very least

they played last weekend at the midi festival in france

here is the setlist...

will be seeing them myself this saturday at supernormal. rudy said it might be their very last show, but who knows?

17 minutes of them live in a current incarnation with Rudy but no Alex, live at the primavera Sound at the start of this month

The new album by The Invisible really reminds me of "A Love From Outer Space" in lots of ways.

any way to check that out without getting a Dimeadozen membership?

It wasn't that fantastic from hearing it once. A loud d'n'b-ish track and one more dreampoppy.

Ah yeah I'll pass.

btw I hate this band ever since I got in a fight with my ex- about them, shortly before we broke up

oh hmm, I see I have already mentioned this extremely interesting tidbit about myself upthread *shimmers and vanishes, like a radiant palace of ice in the desert melting back into the shadows of a mirage*

Lol whatever, I had a conversation with Michael B about "Sulliday" when we met up in Lansing, and ever since then I've had a new appreciation for that track, and for 69 as a whole, as a sustained surrealist masterpiece

what were the details of this fight

Was this ever posted? Classic era AR Kane live off a cassette : ))

Holy crap I need this in my life. Thanks!

So in this song when he says "car-ar-pet" I'm strongly reminded of AR Kane:

Reissue set entitled A. R. Kive has been reviewed in Uncut and The Wire, but it STILL doesn’t have a price or pre-order! It sounds like an eccentric box, too. The first 2 studio LPs and the Up Home! EP, but no Lollita or other material from the era. Weird all-around, which is par for the course with them

so the Rough Trade stuff but the early OLI or 4AD singles... rights issue no doubt

I’m glad it’s finally being reissued, but I’ll wait for more reviews to see if they’re comparable to the original releases.

just got a ticket for the London gig in September :D

Nice. So many AR Kane threads

AR Kane - 69 : classic or dud?
