Guest assegai Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a203919/original-808-state-line-up-to-reform.html Quote A Guy Called Gerald has reportedly revealed that acid house pioneers 808 State may reform with their original lineup. The Manchester group was formed in 1988 by Graham V Massey, Gerald Simpson and Martin Price, but Simpson left a year later to perform as A Guy Called Gerald. According to Exclaim, Simpson revealed plans for a reunion at a recent Red Bull Music Academy interview. It is unclear whether a reunion would include Price, who left the group in 1992, or if a comeback will involve new recordings as well as live shows. Simpson has promised an official announcement in the coming months. A Guy Called Gerald reached number 12 in the UK singles charts in 1988 with 'Voodoo Ray', while 808's 'Pacific State' went to number ten a year later.

SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I thought AGCG was pretty bitter about all the success they had with Pacific State. I guess time and $ heels all wounds.
