Yazoo Reunion Tour
Oh yes, you read that right. Reunion tour 2008.
It's been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert.
And the dates themselves.
* Wed 04 June, Glasgow Clyde Auditorium
* Sat 07 June, Manchester Apollo
* Thu 12 June, Wolverhampton Civic Hall
* Sun 15 June, Brighton Centre
* Wed 18 June, London Hammersmith Apollo
Here's hoping that they do make it over to the US. But then they weren't as popular over here as they were in England I suspect. And had a crap name too. Why they changed it to Yaz is beyond me.
Yeah I've no idea why they changed the name to Yaz over here and Wikipedia sheds no light other to say that "known as Yaz in the U.S.". Well yeah, but why?
From a forum:
"There was a Texas rock group that had the name Yazoo in the US...so it was shortened to Yaz after "Situation" was already released. They (Sire Records) put a sticker over the "oo"." http://www.discomusic.com/forums/disco-music-70s-80s/4911-yaz-yazoo.html
Ah, thank you sir. I was beginning to think it might have something to do with Yazoo Records in the US.
