Robert Pollard and co will play for old label Matador
Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard says he has enlisted the band's "classic line-up" for a reformation show in honour old record label Matador in October. The band, who last played together in 2004, will play Matador's 21st birthday at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas. The three-day event takes place on October 1-3.
Pollard has now revealed which line up of the band will be playing.
"We got the band back together. Not the original line-up - the classic line-up," he told Spinner. "It's better than the original line-up. Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell [guitars], Kevin Fennel [drums] and Greg Demos [bass]."
Pollard added that the band will be "performing songs from the albums 'Propeller', 'Bee Thousand', 'Alien Lanes' and 'Under The Bushes Under The Stars' as well as from singles and EPs from that era".

MEET THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND PINK FLOYD AND LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM COVERS AT SAN FRANCISCO ART EXCHANGE
Storm Thorgerson presents 50 works of art including rare originals at his August show
Also attending the reception is Storm’s design partner, Aubrey Powell. The two visionaries created Hipgnosis, the design company that produced album covers for some of rocks biggest musicians and bands including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Steve Miller Band, Alan Parsons, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Mars Volta, Muse, The Cranberries, The Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Phish, and many more.
San Francisco Art Exchange is the world’s leading dealer of Storm Thorgerson’s artwork. The gallery is honored to work with an artist of such legendary status, worthy of Pink Floyd’s praise.
“Storm’s images were created without any of the software that we take advantage of now,” said San Francisco Art Exchange co-owner Theron Kabrich. “The content of most of his amazing images were constructed scenes, assembled or built in real time as on a movie set. Long before programs like Adobe Photoshop were ever dreamt of, Storm was visualizing and developing images that boggled the mind and provoked the imagination. This leads me to believe those who invented such programs most likely would have been inspired by the imagery Storm created.”
San Francisco Art Exchange has been the world’s leading dealer of popular icon art and photography since 1983. It is the home of pin-up artist Alberto Vargas’ collection of drawings and paintings. SFAE has developed relationships with legendary artists, photographers and celebrities around the world and has represented the art of Ronnie Wood, Rolling Stones guitarist since 1987. In addition to imagery of and by well-known personalities, SFAE has also enjoyed long relationships with famed album cover artists Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), Roger Dean (Yes, Asia), and Stanley Mouse (Grateful Dead) and some of the most significant rock and celebrity photographers in the world.
