Not to burst anyone's bubble here, but I have some bad news. I just joined this tribe, by the way...
Anyway, a close, reliable friend ran into Colm (ex-drummer of mbv) in San Francisco VERY recently. My friend had the luxury of talking with Colm over some brew in a bar.
Here is the skinny:
1. There is no new MBV. Anything to the contrary is rumor.
2. Colm hasn't spoken to Kevin in several years, thus no new collaboration or new material.
3. There is no boxset likely. Colm had not even heard about that Pitchfork.com article. Sounds like another hoax (aren't we used to them by now!)
sorry about the badnews. Sounds like Kevin is probaby more interested in working with Bobby and the Primal Scream kids.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board for us!

Re: Bad news about MBV
Wed, January 21, 2004 - 12:59 PMNah... It is not too surprising really. I have been experiencing this kind of news since about 1993... nothing new.
For a quick mbv-sound-alike-fix, check out the band Guitar on Morr music. CD is called "sunkissed"
That will get you going for a while! -

Re: Bad news about MBV
Mon, January 26, 2004 - 7:25 AMYea, I wish he was an imposter, but my friend would have figured it out. I think he quizzed Colm pretty heavily as well! -

Re: Bad news about MBV
Sun, September 25, 2005 - 8:15 AMMy band in SF played at the Elbo Room on Valencia a dozen times or so before our drummer discovered, over casual conversation, that "Colm the sound guy" used to be "Colm the drummer" from MBV.
Yes, Colm was working as the sound engineer at the Elbo Room, and I believe still is. If you go to a show there you probably have a 50/50 chance of seeing him.

Re: Bad news about MBV
Sat, January 24, 2004 - 2:35 AMYeah, I love FSA. First heard them while having a drink at Noc Noc in San Francisco (miss that place), and was moved to ask the bartender who they were. Start of a wonderful friendship, as they say. -

Re: Bad news about MBV
Sun, April 17, 2005 - 12:31 PMI've always liked Lovesliescrushing, a band out of Arizona, formerly signed to Projekt Recs. As far as I know, they've put out 2 cds with very much that MBV/early Slowdive sound. Hey, and what about Medicine, the "American MBV"? Or am I insulting everyone's sensibilities here? I'm just a newbie, so I don't know. If need be, you may spank me for my transgressions.

Re: Bad news about MBV
Mon, January 26, 2004 - 7:26 AMHave you heard Clear Horizon? I heard this the other day. Apparently it is Dave Pearce from FSA with Jessica Bailif (sp?) singing. She is on kranky. It is a beautiful record. Sounds just like "Further" period FSA... -

Re: Bad news about MBV
Mon, January 26, 2004 - 2:41 PMNo, but I love FSA and I love Jessica Bailiff! I mean, granted, you have to be in a kind of esoteric mood to appreciate JB, but she's wonderful in a strange etherial way. Thanks for the tip! -

Mon, January 26, 2004 - 4:02 PMyeha I live in SF... I knwo Colm...
I've talked to him about the Pitchfork article a while ago... he just laughed... it came out kinda close to the release of theLost in Translation soundtrack which had new KS material right? coincidence? who knows...
he also said there wasnt any new stuff... I've talked to Kevin about this a few years back as well... he also said there wasnt any new MBV stuff that he was working on...

Re: Bad news about MBV
Mon, January 24, 2005 - 4:07 AMi'm fantasizing that the US public will keep (re)discovering MBV until a big reissue finally happens, and then they will be offered $$$ to reform and do a US tour which will turn into a world tour...
mbv need more fan sites
mbv needs to be remixed by the neptunes -

Re: Bad news about MBV
Sat, March 5, 2005 - 10:08 PMI t was posted a bit back, but Jessamine has been defunct for a few years. Some former members are in Fontanelle, who are not nearly as good in my opinion.
