Elastica Are Reforming!


Looks like the Britpop nostalgia is here to stay.
The 90's were marked by great, meaningful British bands, that represented a generation, a new sound, full of glam and a personal style. Suede, Blur, Oasis, Pulp, are great examples of that.
Most of these bands, split in the 2000's but, on this decade they seem to be coming and coming back together. Suede did it (and what a comeback), Blur also, and Pulp went for a new tour and a new single.

Now, it's time for a band that no one would think it would reform: Elastica.
The band released a great (and controversial due to plagiarism) debut album. Then, they spent a good couple of years without new releases, and switching their line-up, until they revealed their second and last album "The Menace" which flopped a little bit in the British charts. After that, the band split up, and the main singer, Justine Frischmann moved to the USA to start a career as a painter.

So, this is why this reunion is so surprising, Justine stated, more than one time that she didn't feel that good in the music business and that painting fills her much wider than music.

But it's here, photos emerged with Justin Welch, Donna Matthews and Annie Holland (3 of the 4 original members) at the Abbey Road studios. Also, it was said that Justine is also involved in what's happening.

The question is, what's happening? New album? Remasters? Well, we will need to wait!
