With concert dates scheduled in England and Los Angeles, The Sex Pistols seem to be teasing fans with the possibility of a tour.
The band has made no official announcement, but the signs add up. Consider:
- This year marks the 30th anniversary of their first and only album, "Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols." (The October issue of Spin magazine is dedicated to the punk movement, and features a young, zit-squeezing Johnny Rotten on the cover.)
- The Sex Pistols recently went back into the studio for the first time in nearly three decades. So far, the only officially-announced result of that is a re-recorded version of "Anarchy in the U.K.," to be included on the new videogame "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock," due out Oct. 28.
- The band keeps adding concert dates in England. There's now a total of five.
- And yesterday The Sex Pistols announced they would play their first-ever concert in Los Angeles, a private, fans-only affair at the famous nightclub The Roxy, on Oct. 25.
Throw in the current reunion-tour mania (Van Halen, The Police, Genesis) and you've got a climate perfect for yet another Pistols comeback.
A spokeswoman for the band said today there are no plans beyond the current dates "as far as we know."
