They didn't broke up, after all.
Guided By Voices have announced that they are cancelling their planned performances at ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror festival in London next May and Primavera in Spain in June. As previously reported, the band reformed almost a year ago and are due to release a new album, ‘Let’s Go Eat The Factory’, in January.
A statement on frontman Robert Pollard’s website explained: “Unfortunately, Guided By Voices are cancelling their appearances at Primavera and ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror, due to personal reasons. The band apologises for any inconvenience and disappointment, and thanks Primavera, ATP and the fans for their long term support”.
Somewhere along the way some wires got crossed, with both ATP and Primavera initially announcing that the band had actually split. However, this is not the case, according to their label, Fire Records, which issued a statement yesterday saying: “Guided By Voices have not split up and continue to work on new material together. In addition to the album release of ‘Let’s Go Eat The Factory’ for January, the band are at work on another album, ‘Class Clown Spots A UFO’. Robert Pollard will also be releasing a solo record in March called ‘Mouseman Cloud’”.
