Soundgarden Reunion Planned for 2010 – ABC News

Chris Cornell

NEW YORK (Billboard) – Soundgarden will reunite for concerts in 2010, according to a Twitter message from frontman Chris Cornell which directs fans to a new Web site, Soundgardenworld.com.

The Seattle rock quartet — Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron — has not played live since splitting up in the spring of 1997.

Cameron has been Pearl Jam’s permanent drummer since 1998; that group recently announced its first North American date of 2010 as part of the second weekend of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 29-May 2), and will also play 10 European shows from June 22 in Dublin through July 10 in Oeiras, Portugal.

The “not writing” but “typing” for which Truman Capote famously wrist-rapped Kerouac had its own incantatory power. His switchback sentences, when read aloud, required a horn player’s circular breathing prowess: the correct embouchure. Read the source….
