We actually were in that area today, and bought about 20 CDs ... Really great spot, very bohemian in atmosphere!

Well you could write and beg them to come west. They were asking fans on their site to give them feedback where they should come in the States.

I had no idea Comus had reformed until I saw this! How extraordinary. Will they be playing any UK dates at any point? They were a UK band, after all... |

Comus played live again for the first time in thirty four years at Stefan Dimle’s http://www.myspace.com/melloboat - Melloboat Festival on the 9th March 2008 to a tumultuous reception. A DVD of their electrifying performance at the festival is in production. And of the next thirty four years? ‘Comes the sunlight, summer day, Comus wakes he starts to play, play, play, play, play, play, play...’ LATEST NEWS: Comus have just been taken on by an agent for Britain and Europe! So hang in there Europeans............hope to bring you some news soon. http://comusmusic.co.uk/news.html - http://comusmusic.co.uk/news.html ------------- ...that moment you realize "Mob Rules" is better than "Heaven and Hell" |

| Oh man, couldn't be more excited for this! USA East Coast, a dream come true!! Never would've guessed they'd come across the pond. I can't even contain myself. I'll take Philly, but New York would be unreal. |

Is that THE Bobbie Watson (known to us as Bobbie Whatsit) still in Comus ????
Do you remember me, Terry in AYUP 35 plus (!) years ago from Sevenoaks. At the time you were going out ( 'dating') with Chris Allen (AYUP) who played bass. I was on guitar, Mick Porter vocals and guitar with Chris Cobb 'Cobby' drums and John Archer flute and everything else.
Havn't seen anyone around Sevenoaks for years although my Dad still lives in the same house, i live in Bromley. I can still just about play but don't pick up the axe that often. Still trying to finish my Synth I started in 1973 but at 58 the eyes aren't too good.
Still into Prog and good music, Classics and the like ( no hip hop stuff) Prefer to collect and listen to music nowadays than play, I was never very good anyhow, I remember you thought I sounded OK when I got my HH amp though, but I think it was the distorted sound masking my bad playing! No, I'm more likely to be pruning the roses (!) as the years go by.
Good luck with the tour and it's great to see all these old bands still soldiering on.

| Yes indeed it is, though you may have better luck posting that on the blog at their official site. |

That's great. Of course, it would be better to see them the first time they played at the melloboat last march. Lucky i did. -------------

I'd love to see them in Philadelphia, however, I'm only 20, just one year short of being able to attend the show.

That sucks man. Johnny Brenda's is the best place in Philly to see a show too. I'll be there a few inches from the band. Hopefully theyll hang around and a have a few drinks after the set so I can get to know them. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall.

Ohh didn't think of that, I'm also 20 and the New York venue hasn't been announced yet.

Portland is about 6 hours away... I don't think I'd dare going though, not in May.

Oh wow, I might have to get tickets to the show in Baltimore. $14 at the door = not bad. For the one who was saying it was an age restricted show in Philly: If you make they drive down to Baltimore, the show is permitted for all ages, for I am 20 years old also. -------------

| I heard from Bobbie that the tour is going to be rescheduled for spring 2010, if all goes as planned. So keeping my fingers crossed |
