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.
