In the comments section of our post on the "Hiroshima" video, reader sean took a moment to disparage the fake leak of Way To Normal before writing:
He's squandered all of his stock-piled Ben Folds Five love ... Let's get the reunion gears spinning for that show. That'd be something, huh?
For some people it would be, yes. Your wish is the Ben Folds Five's command, sean:
As indyweek first reported and Ben Folds's site confirmed, Darren Jesse, Robert Sledge and Ben Folds have scheduled their first performance in almost a decade as part ofMySpace Music's "Front To Back" music series. It'll take place Thursday, 9/18 at UNC-Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall where the trio will play 1999's The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner in its entirety. Tickets go on sale Monday, 9/8. Check out the "Front To Back" MySpace for more details. (Thanks for the tips, everybody.)
Way To Normal is out 9/30 via Epic. Good timing, Ben.
