Fatboy Slim says The Housemartins would only reform if The Smiths do - NME.com

Excerpt:

Cook was asked 'If Paul Heaton called you and asked you to take part in a Housemartins reunion world tour, would you be up for it?' during a web cam AMA on The Guardian. He responded, stating "absolutely not".

He continued, "But he wouldn't. We agreed when we split up, in Bloom's Hotel, Dublin, 1988, that we would never reform. Five years ago we all had lunch together and reiterated that fact, with the caveat that we would only consider reforming if the Smiths reformed, which will only happen when the royal family abdicates."

He then continued to say that "everything about reforming" turns him off, "apart from travelling around in a bus with some old friends."
 
Wow that's a real dilemma we have here isn't it? My god what will we do?
 
I'd love to see The Housemartins back together. One of the best British bands of the 80's. Political. Melodic. Unique. I loved all of that Christian Marxist posturing...the skinhead-lite style...the Gospel vocal styling...the perfect cover versions.

Brilliant.
