Melissa Auf Der Maur has hinted that a Hole reunion may be on the cards.
Hole was the ’90s all-girl response to Nirvana. Courtney Love fronted the band and gave alternative rock culture the angry feminine shake up it needed. The band first split in 2002 before reuniting for two years between 2010 and 2012. Now, Melissa Auf Der Maur has suggested that it’s about time the band returned for the third time.
“I was in Los Angeles two weeks ago and had breakfast with Eric [Erlandson, guiratist], coffee with Courtney and dinner with Patty [Schemel, drummer],” she told Visions in an interview translated from German.
“I told them of our first encounter at the airport in Seattle and the feelings I had after our tribute event. We’ve all grown older, have become more gentle, and I have the feeling that now would be the right point in time to reactivate the band once again. We did a few little gigs over the years but nothing substantial, which by the way I am quite happy about, to be honest.”
“Now it’s been exactly 20 years since I’ve left the band, and I want a piece of our glory back,” she concluded. “Hole was a great band, and it’s important to remember them properly.”
