After breaking up in 1983, they reunited again in 2002 for two gigs. The result: they've been kicking ass in epic proportions for 6 years now, releasing two new great albums and inspiring a whole new generation of fans. Beat that Police and all pointless reunion bands!
This is the part about the general history of Mission of Burma. There will be a second part about Jimi Hendrix, fishing when your eighty, and the possible assassination on Obama.
