To commemorate the 30th anniversary of punk, the Sex Pistols are reuniting for a limited number of gigs in the UK in November including London, Manchester and Glasgow. There's also a private gig in Los Angeles October 25th to kick things off. The Pistols will play Hollywood's Roxy club sponsored by Guitar Hero and Indie 103.1 radio where guitar player Steve Jones has a radio show. The band also recently re-recorded two songs (Pretty Vacant and Anarchy in the UK) for the upcoming video game Guitar Hero III.
Unfortunately, I'll be in London when they're in LA and in the US when they're in London. Argh! So I hope they turn this into a full blown US tour next year.
Update: Check out the promo video and interviews with John Lydon and Steve Jones for Guitar Hero III. You can also buy the newly recorded singles as well as the original Bollocks album on iTunes.
