I just read that one of my favorite bands, Massive Attack, is going to be playing a live show (or 2) in the U.K. In and of itself, this is pretty surprising, as Massive Attack rarely plays live these days. When they released "100th Window", I was hoping to be able to see them live again (I saw them back in Chicago when they toured in support of "Mezzanine"). However, for some reason, Massive Attack didn't really tour the US in support of the new record.

But it doesn't stop here. Supposedly, one of the Massive Attack concerts is a benefit for the tsunami victims. And at said benefit, Massive Attack is going to be joined by none-other than Portishead! Truly, a band that I had written-off for dead -- but I really hope this signals Portishead making some sort of comeback.

There is a website for the concert itself -- the details don't appear to be set in stone yet, with the exception of the dates and cost. All three dates are in the U.K. (of course), but the website pledges a webcast. I can barely wait.
