Portishead probably not coming to EP

A while back, rejoicing on the arrival of Portishead's third album, er, Third, we suggested a sneaky appearance at EP might well be on the cards. The West Country melancholics have indeed begun performing live again, but according to this interview, they are cutting the adventure very short, opting out of the summer festival circuit. According to Geoff Barrow:

You look at these faces in front of you and think, 'Isn't it supposed to be wonderful at this point? But it's not at all,'" he says with an almost apologetic grimace. "It's quite horrible."

Says it all really. If they do appear at EP, I will happily accept all the egg on my face for this silly inaccurate post and revel in the delight of seeing these guys live.
