Go to about the 1:12:20 mark, and music + interview happens. The host played a few of Nez's songs, but also a few Monkees standards for some reason. But as he states, Nez rarely if ever gives interviews, so that is why this is a bit more significant.
He's playing 3 dates in the UK this October, and maybe the other key thing is he is LOOKING to set up some live dates in the US. My guess would be sometime in early or the middle of 2013. But perhaps this Fall or Winter.
As I tell the gf, don't assume, but just hope.
