Yourcodenameis:milo have announced details of a one-off reunion gig to benefit Newcastle venue The Cluny.
The band went on an âindefinite hiatusâ in 2007, but celebrated the 16th-anniversary of their debut EP âAll Roads To Faultâ with a Twitter listening party earlier today (May 10).
The Tyne And Wear post-hardcore group have now confirmed they will return to the stage later this year. The gig will take place at The Cluny on September 18 (coronavirus measures permitting), with tickets going on sale at 12pm tomorrow (May 11).
In a statement, the band explained the significance of the Newcastle venue to them. âIf you were to make a film about Yourcodenameis:milo then youâd lose a significant amount of money in doing so, but that could be offset against the location budget,â they wrote. âYouâd need the back of a splitter van, our rehearsal room and The Cluny.

âFor the majority of our time we rehearsed just up the hill so all visits from managers, labels, agents, publishing etc all got to hear some music then got to go to The Cluny where they could buy us booze [âŠ] We ate lunch in there when we were rehearsing and recording and called in for a pint on the way home.â
They added that their hometown show in support of âAll Roads To Faultâ was held at the venue, while it was also present during the bandâs low times, like members leaving and deciding to go on hiatus. âAll of it had The Cluny in the background,â they said. âAll of it.â
Gonna do this here one off professional rock concert with my friends for The Cluny. A place we spent most of, in fact all our time in as a band back in the day. (Obviously depending on where we are in pandemic etc). https://t.co/sL3SLFOJDW

They continued: âThe importance of venues like The Cluny canât be underestimated in terms of the role they play in the musical ecosystem. In the midst of all this going on now and so much hanging in the balance, we thought if weâre going to do it then itâs got to be for a good reason so here we are.â
The bandâs Justin Lockey added in his own tweet: âGonna do this here one off professional rock concert with my friends for The Cluny. A place we spent most of, in fact all of our time in as a band back in the day. (Obviously depending where we are in pandemic etc).â
