Your views on the T.Gristle 'reunion'...

I wonder what people think of the 'reunion' of Throbbing Gristle, a one-off affair at Camber Sands next May ??
Is it a Pistols style wind up...following on a tradition of "oh no!" get-back-togethers like the Velvets?? Should they have let sleeping dogs lie???
Is the myth exploded by doing such a thing??
Is it time they cashed in?????

We don't know what they'll do, but we're going anyway :)

Personally I like the idea and am going along to it. I think it's a bit different to most of the re-union things that have happened in recent years for a few reasons:
1) It's a one-off, not to be repeated.
2) They're gonna be doing something new, and they're not doing a 'greatest-hits'-style thing.
3) All the issues TG bought up in their work (surveillance, censorship etc.) are as relevant, if not more so, now than they were in the late 70s.
4) It's a festival, with lots of great and interesting artists appearing. It's worth going even if you disapprove of the TG show which you're not obliged to go and watch if you want to be sniffy about it!
5) All the TG members will be doing sets under their current guises as well.

Yeah, that goes for me too - I am looking forward to it and expect to be challenged by whatever goes on. TG and the various splinters were always good for making me stop and think about what they were doing, about taking into account other perspectives (ok, mostly the shadowy ones but no less important for that).
I'm also more than a little curious to see what sort of people go along to a TG "re-onion"
