The band last played live in Tokyo in September 1996.
“The opportunities and practicalities of reforming Lush meant that for 20 years it was an impossible undertaking,” explained vocalist/guitarist Miki Berenyi. “But we all loved what we did, and the time is finally right for us to do it again.”
The band’s UK label, 4AD, are also releasing a vinyl reissue of Lush’s ‘best of’ compilation Ciao! in November, followed by a limited edition box set titled Chorus at the beginning of December.
The box is a five-disc set, comprising the early compilation Gala (1990), the three studio albums Spooky (1992), Split (1994) and Lovelife (1996) and the B-sides collection Topolino (the Canadian version, also 1996), plus B-sides, radio sessions, remixes and demos, some previously unreleased. The artwork is by Chris Bigg.
The line-up for forthcoming live shows is Berenyi, vocalist/guitarist Emma Anderson, bassist Phil King and Justin Welch, formerly of Elastica.
