Its a toughie alright. The annoying thing is I'm sure I've read about it recently but then again I probably think that due to Axl N' Chums.

Any more clues for us?:laugh:

Don't get stuck in Manchester! You're so damn close to the right city.

And yes, like Ian Brown, Morrissey tours under his own name.

As for clues... The correct umbrella term (which also covers The Cure) is Darkwave.

I agree. That's exactly who I thought of right away.

And I'd disagree that the Cure was an excellent answer. haha sorry Neemo. But the Cure is Robert Smith and whoever chooses or he chooses to work with him at any given time. The Cure never stopped and has toured and released albums consistently their(his) entire career(2 soon to be 3 this decade).  Robert was never on any self imposed exile or anything like that and he works with former bandmates quite regularly. Haha I'm just ranting here but I didn't see any simliarities to the Cure and the description given other than the band is touring without a  new album for now(but it's coming). The Smiths though is bang on I think.

On a side note I'm going to see the Cure next Wednesday at Red Rocks in Colorado. Holy shit am I ever pumped!!!:mosh:
