In a recent interview about the publication of his recent Beefheart autobiography John French announced that there would likely be no more Magic Band reunion shows:
"I don’t think so. I really don’t want there to be. One primary reason is that there is just no way to do that music justice when everyone lives so far apart. The second reason is that there’s really not much of a demand and so it’s a lot of work for almost no financial return – exactly like it was before."
