    Speaking about the reunion, drummer Gordon Morison said: “We’re really happy to announce we will be celebrating 20 years of Raging Speedhorn at the amazing Electric Ballroom with the original band.

    “This will never happen again so if you want to see us smash London go get your tickets now."

    Returning guitarist Gaz Smith, who left the band in 2008, will be returning with original guitarist Tony Loughlin and bassist Darren Smith. Gaz had this to say on the show: “Starting Raging Speedhorn with the guys 20 years ago changed my life completely.

    “It was and still is a huge part of me. I’ve never really been one for going back, as far as playing music goes, but to celebrate the twentieth anniversary with a special, absolutely one-off show was just too fun a thing to turn down. It’s going to be amazing. I can’t wait.”

    The band will headline the Electric Ballroom on October 6.

    Support is by NOLA legends Crowbar, returning sludge demons Charger and Northants noisemongers Scurge.

    Jim Palmer, guitarist for both Charger and Speedhorn’s current line-up, said: “We're excited to be able to bring Charger to this show.

    “It's gonna be a mega celebration of times gone by and I for one am looking forward to reliving all those memories for one night.
