There are some teasers and rumours on the internet that The High are about to reform for a tour. The High were a late 80s Manchester band, including ex-Stone Rose Andy Couzens on guitar, who had a couple of minor indie hits and NME Singles of the Week (Box Set Go, Up And Down, classics of their time both), a decent album (Somewhere Soon), and a belting post album single (More...), which got them busted for chart rigging. I saw them live twice, both times they were good. Singer John Matthews became ill they made an ill-advised grunge influenced second album that no-one bought. The end. Until now- apparently there's going to be an announcement today. Like Drew, I often think that re-unions and comebacks are a bad idea. But then I often end up overcoming my cynicism, go along and have a good time.
Up And Down
