STILL GOING, IT TURNS OUT

We'd dragged JJ72 to our mental trashcan following their long absence and the rumours that the interesting one, Hilary, had quit. But we're dragging them back to the desktop as fast as our overstretched metaphor will allow us: they're back, with a tour:

May 6th Cork - Cruisin Lan
7th Waterford - TEN
8th Limerick - Dolans
10th Galway - Roisin Dubh
11th Castlebar - Royal Theatre Ruby Room
12th Belfast - Spring & Airbrake
14th Glasgow - King Tuts
15th Leeds - Cockpit
17th Manchester - Academy III
18th London - 93 Ft East

They're back with a download-only single (She's Gone - aptly, on May 23rd).

They're back with a proper single (Coming Home - oh, how the aptness extends itself) for July 4th.

They're back with an album in September.

And most of all, they're back with a new bassist, who has an even more Ian Flemingesque name, Sarah Fox.

And, apparently, Nick Rhodes is in the band now:
