Wow, they really are peerless aren't they? Wonder how long they played for? I think I can see a setlist taped to the floor behind Jarvis monitor but it's impossible to read.
...well, seeing them pop up again like this makes it feel like they're more "together" as a band than I had previously supposed... not just a short-term, nostalgia-driven "reunion" project, but reformed fully, maybe durably. Surely that'll mean new material sooner or later? No serious band of musicians would want to be, ahem, pickled in formaldehyde like a dismembered sheep.
...Unless this escapade merely suggests that they'll jump for the dollar-on-a-hook? I for one, predictably as a fan, doubt it.
Yeah it's recent: the beard, the retro costume, it's Jarvis 2011. He was a cowboy in 2006 2007 and a history teacher in 2009. Now he's a philosopher :D
I think it's definitely legit. Saw several tweets about it the day after the party (including one confirming Russell wasn't there). Press rarely cover the entertainment at private events.
