Former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham will commemorate the recent re-release of the seminal dream-pop act’s catalog with a special one-off concert in Atlanta this fall at which he will be ‘performing the Galaxie 500 songbook.’

As Norwegian pop trio a-ha marks its 25th anniversary with a worldwide farewell tour, Rhino Records on Thursday announced plans to reissue the band’s first two albums — 1985’s ‘Hunting High and Low’ and 1986’s ‘Scoundrel Days’ — in deluxe 2CD sets brimming with B-sides, mixes, live cuts and unreleased material.

Goth-rock survivors The Sisters of Mercy have announced a short run of shows this August, including the band’s only U.K. performance of 2010 and festival dates in Belgium, Germany and Romania.

Playing its first official public concert with new bassist Duff McKagan, alt-rockers Jane’s Addiction debuted a brand-new song, ‘Soulmate,’ at a short Hollywood club show last night — the first new Jane’s tune to emerge since 2003’s ‘Strays.’

‘Your Future Our Clutter,’ the 28th album by Mark E. Smith and The Fall, recently hit stores, and Domino Records has delivered a video — the band’s first in years, shot in artsy, super slo-mo — for the record’s first single, ‘Bury! Pts. 2+4.’

Despite having split in 2008, The Mission UK returns this summer with a new compilation of rare B-sides, previously unreleased demos, new songs left over from the ‘God Is a Bullet’ sessions and a brand-new dance mix of ‘Dumb’ by late-period guitarist Mark Gemini Thwaite.
