Hints for a future : loads of light effects, gear, instruments, an extra violinist for a couple of songs, rarities played at main gigs... Hardly a band only doing a farewell tour. In 3 words : a big show. To me the message is: hey fans, we're definitely back. Hopes : Blur, Stone Roses, Suede are all reuniting with new projects ahead. Some faster than others though. I would imagine this tour with some shamefull stops could also be to raise money to record something on their own, free of all record label ?

This is a really good point. It cost a lot of money to put out a record without a label and if they're pursuing that then the money from the Coachella cruise would probably be incredibly helpful. (though maybe they just did it because they wanted to it doesn't really matter).
But I thought they had some sort of contract with Rough Trade?

Lovely rendition..it was probably my highlight of Brixton#1 last year. The little bits of guitar ornamentation are nice, not enough to hide the missing violin, but really great to hear. Andy, how many people were in attendance?
They are managed by Geoff Travis and Jeanette Lee, the owners of Rough Trade. They were even managed by them when Pulp were signed to Island...actually I think that was a key part in getting them a deal with a major. That added to Jarvis having released his material on Rough Trade, it would make sense for any future Pulp release to follow suit.
2000. But i think they could have filled a bigger venue
I suppose the "new" record would be on rough trade, but maybe the band would pay for the recording sessions. That's how i see it anyway. Just a publishing deal

If they do the 'kickstarter' route, I think I might have to go without food for awhile. Hope there is more to come!
