The Jesus And Mary Chain make live return
The Jesus And Mary Chain made their live return last night (April 27) a "secret" Coachella Festival warm-up show.
The band played the Glass House in Pomona, California, their first gig since 1998, to prepare for their festival return today (April 28).
According to Laist.COM, the group played a "slow but steady" set which saw frontman Jim Reid ask the crowd "happy we're back?".
After the crowd cheered, he simply told them to "fuck off" and looked at his drummer.
Actress Scarlett Johansson had been rumoured to sing the female vocals on the band's classic 'Just Like Honey' at the gig, however on the night Giant Drag's Annie Hardy filled in.
The band are now due to play Coachella itself and NME.COM will be on site bringing you the best coverage from this year's event.

Nine Inch Nails reveal remix album details
Nine Inch Nails have revealed the details of their forthcoming remix album 'Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D'.
In a posting on the band's website, frontman Trent Reznor confirmed that it is due out on November 20 in the US via Interscope (despite the fact that they recently announced they'd soon be parting ways with their label).
The band will release it in three formats: digital, CD and vinyl, as Reznor explained: "I can make this easy for you: if you just want to hear the tracks as cheaply as possible, get it digitally. The highest fidelity will likely be Amazon (through legal means).
"If you want something that's aesthetically cool and will enhance any collection, get the vinyl. Trust me, it looks great. The extra tracks are fairly minor embellishments to the whole (and surely someone will upload them instantly).
"If you want higher quality tracks legally, a nice package AND a complete multitrack of the whole record, get the physical CD / DVD ROM."
Reznor also revealed the tracklisting, confirming that members of New Order, Ladytron, The Faint and Sam Fogarino of Interpol have contributed remixes to the album.
Reznor said of the album: "I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. Remix records can be disposable garbage (of which I myself have been guilty of to some extent) but this collection feels good to me.
"I reached out to heroes, friends and strangers. I encouraged those I approached to do anything and insert themselves as much as possible into the track." |
