In a Smashing Pumpkins style reformation Courtney Love has announced she'll be resurrecting her former band's name, Hole for her forthcoming album. However, on a par with Billy Corgan's revival of The Smashing Pumpkins moniker she revealed to an NME journo she'll be the only original member of the group to feature, which in an unusual twist will include guitarist Micko Larkin from the now disbanded London indie group Larrikin Love. The new version of the band will tour however with ex-Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Mar appearing live and possibly contributing backing vocals to the record, entitled Nobody's Daughter. The much delayed release is now expected in late 2009, early 2010. Courtney has described the scope of it as having changed from an introspective Blood On The Tracks Dylan-type affair to being more rocky Diamond Dogs era David Bowie-esque album, also announcing (warning?) "I'm wearing my first pair of leather pants in 20 years"... news.q4music.com/2009/06/courtney_to_be_hole_again.html

Melissa has stated that she has "no clue" about the reunion. She provided a few backing vocals on 'Nobody's Daughter'. Though Courtney said there will be a reunion, Melissa is not reluctant to join the gang by the looks of it.

Hard to know what to think about Courtney but for some reason I like her, "warts and all".

Heh a Hole reunion....although it's just her on her own with new band members....logically that'd be called a new band, not a resurrection of Hole.
Amusing.
Was totally gonna make a bad pun whole...hole...I'll just leave it at that.
Auf Der Maur's Wikipedia page says she's returning. I love Wikipedia, faults and all.
"In June 2009, Courtney Love announced through an NME blog that Hole were reforming, with Melissa on bass, and Micko Larkin, who was Love's lead guitarist on her upcoming album, "Nobody's Daughter", which is now due to be Hole's fourth studio album."
And from Hole's Wikipedia page...
"Erlandson has stated that contractually no reunion can take place without his involvement, therefore Courtney's new solo record will not be a "Hole" record."

That's the nature of Wikipedia.
