The Monkees, one of the top-selling pop/rock acts of the late 1960's will reunite this summer after a pair of fortuitous swaps.
Singer Micky Dolenz, 62, swapped with former 'NSync singer JC Chasez, 30, on February 18. Neither man would comment on te swap at the time, with Dolenz only saying it was "One of those things you live with, hopefully."
A publicist for Chasez said, "Mr. Chasez can only say he has the utmost respect for Mr. Dolenz and hopes to continue his own musical endeavours."
However, less than a month later, on March 10, Dolenz received a call from his former bandmate, Davy Jones, 61, albeit in n unfamiliar voice.
"Davy always did have kind of a light voice, you know," grinned Dolenz, "But I get this call, the voice says, 'Mick, it's Davy!' And I can tell it sounds British, but I couldn't help but clean out my ears and ask, 'what?'"
Jones had recently been swapped with Maureen "Reeni" Gould, lead singer and bass guitarist of Cybertronic, a "girl-geek-punk" group from Southern California.
"I told Micky what'd happened," Jones' English accent is fully audible coming over Gould's pierced tongue. She brushes a lock of dyed-pink hair from her face and rolls her eyes, "It seemed this would be a natural concept."
The Ventura, CA native Gould had very choice words regarding her swap with the Manchester-born former pop idol. None of them are, however, printable in a family-friendly article. Using a very colourful metaphor for oral sex, Gould expressed her displeasure with the swap.
Jones & Dolenz are currently rehearsing their old material, as well as a pair of new songs, one of which will be written by their fellow ex-Monkee, Peter Tork.
When interviewed, Tork found it difficult to stop laughing.
"Mick and Dave are good friends of mine, yeah we go way back," Tork beamed, "And hey, maybe I'll get swapped with one of those boy band types too, and get Jessica Simpson's number in the process."
Tickets will go on sale soon for the tour, which will start in July.
