Yay!! King Crimson Are Back!

... and there will be three drummers in the seven piece band. And Mel Collins and Tony Levin. Be prepared for some vicious music. Fripp's been dealing with two convoluted royalty lawsuits, I think relating to EG and Universal, the second of which must have ended, or be in the closing stages. This has contributed to the performing hiatus. He will be rehearsing them for a year when everyones commitments permit, so no gigs as it stands till September 2014. I WANT TO SEE THIS http://www.dgmlive.com/

Yay! indeed. I suspect I won't be the only Crimhead pleased to notice the absence of a certain Mr Belew in the line-up.

Seeing Mel Collins's name made me smile. I just hope they come within striking distance of me (and thee).

So, this is different to that Crimson Projekt, then? https://www.facebook.com/thecrimsonprojekct
It's starting to look a bit Ha**wind.
I'd love to see either live, btw.

Yep. I'm not on The Book of Face but I think the Crimson Projekt is Tony Levin's baby.... keeping the flag flying. And can never have too many drummers : D

Crimson Projekt are Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter, Tobias Ralph, Julie Slick
I think this has been an occasional band for a few years, now. Perhaps the reformed King Crimson might be a similar thing?

Me too. Never seen them live in any incarnation though.
That quite chilled album from a couple of years ago "A Scarcity of Miracles" under the Projekt banner featured a lot of this new line up.

I think you're right. A multinational band whose members are very gifted and will always be in demand elsewhere. The occasional conveneing - or mutation.

this sort of worries me though, that Scarcity of Miracles song I heard was newagey nonsense
