Just stumbled across this on the Dischord site...
So maybe it's not the second coming of Slint or anything, but I for one am excited:
"Hoover has announced that the band will be reuniting and touring in the UK in November and December. They are undecided as to whether this will translate into dates in the US or elsewhere. The timing could not be better considering that Dischord will be releasing the remastered version of their stellar debut full-length CD, "The Lurid Traversal of Route 7" in the near future. Dates are listed here:
NOVEMBER
Mon 29th England, Southampton Lennon's Bar
Tues 30th England, Exeter Cavern Club
DECEMBER
Wed 1st England, Manchester Star and Garter
Thurs 2nd England, Newcastle Art Centre
Fri 3rd Scotland, Glasgow Nice and Sleazy
Sat 4th N. Ireland, Belfast TBA
Sun 5th Ireland, Limmerick TBA
Mon 6th Ireland, Dublin TBA
Tues 7th England, Bristol The Croft
Wed 8th England, London Camden Underworld
