Ohio's finest, Guided By Voices are to return in the guise of their very first incarnation, a brand new Matador Records -released single in hand. Following on from last year's reunion at the label's 21st birthday bash in the hedonistic haven of Las Vegas, new material from Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennell (aptly out November 21st) finally got spewed out by the internet. We Won't Apologize For The Human Race features on the flipside, while The Unsinkable Fats Domino hogs the A-side, and a mammoth slab of [...]

I can't believe I'll get to see one of the shows on this tour, thanks to some kind-hearted pals. I thought I'd be living the moments on YouTube only, but in a few weeks time I'll be shooting eastward [...]
Wow! Coming on stage around 12:30am Monday morning, there were no tired eyes showing from Robert Pollard and Guided by Voices, who pumped out one helluva rock n roll show at the Matador at 21 fest in Las Vegas .
