Mission of Burma initially broke up in 1983, when singer and guitarist Roger Miller developed tinnitus. Their reunion has been a rare treat, far exceeding their first round’s product in both quantity and, arguably, quality – the latter no small feat, as the band’s sole effort during their first incarnation was Vs., a minor classic.
The band is playing a few dates in Missouri and one in Spain in the near future.
