The Jesus And Mary Chain have reformed for a US tour.
The Scottish rockers, who played their last shows together four years ago and released their last studio album 'Munki' in 1998, will reunite for a string of shows this March, including an appearance at this year's South By Southwest festival.
The band's line-up will consist of original songwriting duo Jim and William Reid, as well as guitarist John Moore and bassist Phil King, with a statement revealing that they will also be joined by a drummer "yet to be announced". Previously, Bobby Gillespie filled in on sticksman duties for the group until he left in 1985 to concentrate on his own band, Primal Scream.
In September last year, frontman Jim Reid uploaded a previously unreleased track titled 'Black And Blues' online – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to listen. The band also re-issued their entire back catalogue in 2011.
The Jesus And Mary Chain will play:
Texas Denton 35 (March 11)
New Orleans House Of Blues (12)
Houston House Of Blues (13)
Texas South By Southwest (14 – 18)

'raging and weeping are left on the early road
now each in his holy hill
the glittering and hurting days are alomst done
then let us compare mythologies
i have learned my elaborate lie
of soaring crosses and poisened thorns'

Re: mary chain reform to play us
Thats not playing the US.
Thats stringing a few dates close to Austin so they can pay for flying over for South By Southwest.
Which is smart.

But it's a start though. Maybe they're testing the water before deciding on doing more. If both Reids come out of those dates alive, we may have a chance...
