Cast to reform
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 June 2010
It’s okay everyone, you can stop holding your breath in anticipation, John Powers has finally announced the reunion of Cast. The band will perform a number of live dates later the year, the first time they will have been on stage together since splitting in 2001, and may record new material.
Frontman John Power told the NME: “I know it’s been nearly a decade but everything feels alright. I’m in a good place at the minute so I rang the lads each individually and told them I feel like going out again with the band. For me to have rung the lads and for the lads to have come and sat in the same room as me is unbelievable because a few years ago I would have laughed. But now something musical is rising inside of me. Something’s brewing in my mind and it’s ready to pop”.
He continued: “I’ve been writing a body of work that has made me feel at peace with the stuff I’ve done in the past and I don’t want to think too far ahead, but I thought it would probably work for Cast. So I thought, ‘Why don’t we get together?'”
