Bodies without Organs return to the United Kingdom as anticipation of their first hit in the country grows. esctoday.com can now confirm that they will be joined by Alcazar as the group have agreed to reform for one night in London to support what is being billed as a celebration of 20 years of Swedish pop music by Alexander Bard.
London's G-A-Y nightclub at the Astoria on Charing Cross Road will be the venue, and the two bands will be joined by Alexander Bard's Army of Lovers who will also reunite, ensuring a buzy night for one of the World's most respected producers.
