My interest in them was just exploding as the reunion tour happened, so I
hope they come 'round again.  Interesting take on the guitarist(?)s; I think
a lot of Ari's mandate in putting the band together was to keep it in the
family.  As to the original guitar work, it's a little hard to make out what
Viv Albertine was up to; her stuff on the albums is fascinatingly bizarre,
but one the live videos I've seen she seems not to be playing half the time
(but, it must be said, looking very, very good not doing so).  I guess she's
a filmmaker now...
