Rossdale reforms Bush

THE REBOOTING OF BUSH: Gavin Rossdale has put together a new lineup of Bush, one of the definitive bands of the alternative era, tapping the renowned Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue, The Cult) to produce the project. The pair previously worked together on Rossdale’s 2008 solo LP WANDERlust. The new album, which will be the first under the Bush nameplate since 2001’s Golden State, is expected to hit in late spring or early summer, with label and distribution specifics still being worked out. The handpicked bandmembers include bassist Corey Britz and guitarist Chris Traynor, both of whom have logged road miles with Rossdale. “I’ve been trying to reunite the band ever since [we broke up], to be honest,” Gavin revealed in a Q&A with Los Angeles Confidential. “When I began writing songs soon after I came off tour for my solo record, I kept thinking how perfect they would be for a Bush record, so I threw it out there and just willed it; that’s how it camew about.” (3/1a)
