The Faint Fall Tour

Saddlecreek is reissuing The Faint’s “Danse Macabre” in October. Sounds like this fall would be the perfect time for the indie rock band to play the 2001 album in its entirety on tour. And that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

An announcement on The Faint’s website notes that the fall outing will be the first time the album has been played live in its entirety ever. The band points out that because the album is 35 minutes long, “of course” the group will also perform some new tunes and other favorites.

Set for release Oct. 30, the remastered deluxe version of Danse Macabre comes with a second CD of six bonus tracks, a DVD and expanded packaging. The DVD features “archival video footage from the band, live projection videos from that era’s tour dates, the ‘Agenda Suicide’ music video (directed by MK12), some live footage, and more!” You can choose either the CDs and DVD package or a package with the CDs, DVD and two LPs.
