It's official: My Bloody Valentine return, schedule U.K. shows

This editor wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t right in front of his eyes: the near-mythic U.K. shoegazer quartet (and former AP cover stars) known as My Bloody Valentine are officially back in action, after having been dormant from recording and performing for over a decade.
