It seems this is the week for band reunions – after Rage Against the Machine and Crowded House, the English rockers JAMES have announced they are reforming, too.

Singer Tim Booth's official website posted the following message last week:

"Tim will be rejoining James in early 2007 for a series of live shows to be announced very soon."

Fansite One of the Three has followed up with news that James' line-up will be the one of their "Laid" albumВ era: Tim Booth (vocals), Jim Glennie (bass), Larry Gott (guitar), Saul Davies (guitar), Mark Hunter (keys), and Dave Power (drums).

Announcements will be made in the next few weeks for the first set of shows, and there will be releases planned for later in the year as well - whether this will be brand new or reissued material (with the possibility of unreleased tracks) has yet to be confirmed.
