hickey Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If this has been posted already, sorry. I was pretty excited to see this, though I doubt they'll make it to the east coast. From Face To Face's Web site: We're Back ... Sort Of The exciting news is that after nearly five years since our decision to call it quits, we have decided to get back together and play some shows again. Truth is, we love the songs and the band. We never really had any personality conflicts or drama. There has always been a ton of support from the fans. So we figured why not? While we are still involved in other projects, etc. The plan is to get together and play some shows. We’re not sure what it will lead to in the future, but for now we don’t have any plans for writing or recording any new material. The first show we will be back together for is Bamboozle Left at Verizon Ampitheatre in Irvine, CA on April 5th. More to be announced soon. Here is our official press release that probably says it all better than I can: January 29th, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FACE TO FACE ANNOUNCE PLAN FOR REUNION Los Angeles, CA – After announcing their break-up in 2003 FACE TO FACE has revealed plans to reunite for upcoming live shows. “We miss playing these songs live. That’s the only reason. We don’t plan on writing any new material or releasing new records as FACE TO FACE, but we are looking forward to getting out there and playing for people. The live shows have always been the best part of this band so why not continue to do something we love to do,” says lead singer/founder Trever Keith. The band will consist of Keith, Scott Shiflett, Chad Yaro and Pete Parada. There are no immediate plans for a full scale tour. The band will be playing select festival dates in the U.S. and internationally. The first of which will be The Bamboozle Left in Southern California on April 5th. Meanwhile, Trever Keith has completed a solo album under his own name which he plans on releasing digitally through his own website www.TreverKeith.com in the coming weeks. The album, entitled Melancholics Anonymous, according to Keith “picks up where Ignorance is Bliss left off.” Ignorance is Bliss was one of the six albums released by FACE TO FACE during their 13 year career and marked a departure from their signature pop punk sound. Keith will embark on a series of solo dates performing new material from Melancholics Anonymous beginning March 8th in Los Angeles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slymer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Love this band! I've probably seen them close to 10 times. I'd see them again if they came down to SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 i learned how to sing along because of their records. Big Choice & Don't Turn Away changed my life....s/t too...but the first two and the EPs...fuuuuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 really good -- but i'm more excited about the trever keith solo album, frankly. i think "ignorance is bliss" is way underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Don't Turn Away is a great, great record. However, my friend told me that their other records weren't very good. I can trust his taste in music more than anyone else, especially when it comes to 80s and 90s punk rock, but do any of their other records come close to Don't Turn Away?

If you think Don't Turn Away is a great, great record then I really don't see how you couldn't thoroughly enjoy the majority of Big Choice and the S/T albums.

skumbucket Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 FYI -- for anyone that's interested, the Trever Keith solo album is now available for download from his site. after listening to the first track and a half i was psyched enough to cough up five bucks for it.

slymer Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Everything up to and including Ignorance is Bliss is great. The Vagrant stuff was kinda blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skumbucket Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 i'm not too sure what to think of this solo record. some of the songs sound good, but someone needs to tell him to lay off the reverb. he's not in fucking my morning jacket.
