The Yummy Fur to reform
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 25 November 2009
Cult Scottish band The Yummy Fur have announced that they will perform their first proper shows for eleven years on a short tour to promote the release of a best of compilation on What’s Your Rupture? and the fifteenth anniversary of their former label Guided Missile, in January.
Formed in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist John McKeown (now frontman of The 1990s), The Yummy Fur featured a revolving line-up, which latterly included Franz Ferdinand’s Paul Thompson and Alex Kapranos (then known as Alex Huntley). They split in 1999, with McKeown and Kapranos producing one final single, ‘This Is Andrew Sinclair’, which McKeown described as “the history of The Yummy Fur in four minutes”.
The band – featuring McKeown on guitar and vocals, Thompson on drums and guitarist Brian McDougall – will play two UK shows in Glasgow and London on 7 and 9 Jan, before heading across the Atlantic to play their first ever US shows.
