Love And Rockets\u00a0is the seminal, groundbreaking trio of\u00a0Daniel Ash\u00a0(vocals and guitar<\/em>),\u00a0David J\u00a0(vocals and bass<\/em>) and\u00a0Kevin Haskins\u00a0(drums<\/em>). They formed in 1985 after the first split of their band Bauhaus. Love And Rockets provided a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination and influences.

Coinciding with the 35th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of their massive hit So Alive<\/em>, the band will release a limited-edition remix EP that contains remixes of the track by\u00a0The Crystal Method\u00a0and\u00a0D.J. K\u00a0The EP will be available on limited edition clear picture disc and digitally\u00a0on\u00a0August 30, 2024\u00a0and is available for pre-order here:\u00a0https:\/\/loveandrockets.ffm.to\/music<\/a>\u00a0and for sale at the merch table at the shows from release date onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Love<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Named after the underground comic by the Hernandez brothers, Love And Rockets made seven records over the course of thirteen years. 2023 saw them reunite and play their first shows in 15 years and reissue all of their Beggars Banquet albums. There was a near-immediate sell-out of a limited-edition box set, and the release of\u00a0\u2018My Dark Twin,\u2019 a 22-track companion to the band\u2019s 1996 album\u00a0\u2018Sweet F.A.\u2019 containing eight previously unreleased versions, and six unreleased songs from the\u00a0Sweet F.A.\u00a0<\/em>sessions. They have just announced Summer tour dates that will see them perform with a reunited Jane’s Addiction. The 23-city tour kicked\u00a0off on August 9 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas making stops across North America in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto and more before wrapping up in St. Louis at Evolution Festival\u00a0on September 29.\u00a0Tour dates are below.

Everything changed for Love And Rockets in 1989 when they released their self-titled breakthrough fourth album. The song So Alive<\/em> was a massive worldwide #1 hit and\u00a0Billboard\u00a0wrote that it was the “best T. Rex tune that Marc Bolan never wrote.\u201d\u00a0The self-titled album attained gold status, and the song reached #1 in Canada and charted within the top 30 in Australia, and New Zealand. In the US, it was #1 on the\u00a0Billboard\u00a0Modern Rock Tracks chart for five weeks and was ranked #1 on that listing’s year-end chart for 1989 and was #3 on the US National charts.

So Alive<\/em> has been a continual favourite, so much so that last year when the band reunited and played their first show in 15 years at Cruel World Festival in Pasadena, Rob (D.J. K) and Scott (The Crystal Method) were in the crowd and were blown away by the performance. They decided to approach the band and they then agreed to dust off and unvault the 34 year old original stems to officially remix and\u00a0reimagine So Alive<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
