Tonight, August 26, Kate Bush returns to the stage for her first live shows in 35 years. To celebrate, here’s our cover story from the archives (June 2010, Take 157), in which Uncut takes a phantasmagorical trip into suburbia to learn the untold story of Kate Bush’s masterpiece, Hounds Of Love.

Roger Waters' documentary about his The Wall world tour is to receive its world premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The Wall Live Tour took place between 2010 and 2013, becoming the highest-grossing tour for a solo musician.
The film utilizes footage from throughout the tour’s four-year run, which included stops in the UK and Europe, the US, South America, and Australia.
The film is credited to Waters and the tour’s creative director, Sean Evans.
A Motörhead fan had to be treated for a blood clot on the brain after headbanging at a recent gig by the metal band.

In this month's Uncut, I reviewed the deluxe edition of The The's Soul Mining, which has been reissued as a box set with additional material.

I hope you enjoy it. I'll endeavour to post the review itself in the next week or so; better still, you can find it in the issue on sale now... (apologies for the shameless plug...)
