The best band reunion news of the year!
By Jason Andreasen
Okay, so reunions by bands from the Sixties and Seventies can be complete disasters. Music lovers have a certain memory of a beloved band that can either be absolutely destroyed or mildly refreshed. However, when one of best bands I’ve ever had the joy of listening to (but never had the pleasure to see) announces plans to tour, hope is vice I voluntarily accomodate.
In a recent rollingstone.com article, Ron Wood confirmed that incredibly underappreciated Seventies band, Faces, will be reuniting for a tour in 2009. Click here to see the article.
 In case you aren’t aware of Faces, allow me to introduce you:
While the likelihood that Rod Stewart is able to posses the same raw, unpolished edge that he showed in the early Seventies is less than remote, I must confess that I am beyond excited. Fingers crossed…
By the way, here is a link to an article I penned for the January 30, 2008 edition of Tiger Weekly called Recods Revisited: Faces’ A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse. The piece takes a look at the band’s 1971 album in all of its raucous glory.
Here’s hoping Faces comes somewhere near south Louisiana. Otherwise, I just have to hope gas prices stay low…
