Not only did main man Robert Pollard reunite the "classic '93-'96 lineup" for three albums — Let's Go Eat the Factory, Class Clown Spots UFO, and the forthcoming Bears for Lunch (in addition to Mouseman Cloud, another in his torrential downpour of solo records), but the year saw the return of the nation's best GBV tribute band, Secret Fox. Featuring Jim Adkins (of Jimmy Eat World) and members of The Secret Lives of Painters, the band celebrated the return of Guided by Voices with a reunion gig of its own at Crescent Ballroom after 10 years of inactivity. The band didn't stick to the classic lineup repertoire alone, dipping into "Guided by Verde"-era power pop, too, but there were Pollard-style high kicks. Oh, yes, high kicks galore.,

ADKINS: Oh man. John Hofmann, who has a band called Secret Life Of Painters in Arizona, is kind of the Bob Pollard of the GBV tribute band called Secret Fox, so it's sort of up to him. I heard rumors that he was writing a set list, so you never know. I'm sure I'll lend a helping hand toward that in a heartbeat if he wanted it.,
