Concrete Playground

Echo & The Bunnymen, Jane's Addiction, My Bloody Valentine, Duran Duran, Rage Against The Machine, The Pixies  Happy Mondays...  The last few years have seen more reformations than you can poke a stick at, promoters dusting off the old rockers like crazy.

The results have been mixed, but Faith No More should yield better results than most, as they are still young enough to put on an amazing show without looking like parodies of their younger selves (did anyone see Devo at Splendour a few years back? Flower pots on old guys equals creepy and stupid not quirky and inventive).

FNM had a 11 year hiatus and apparently "decided to sit down together and talk about it" (check out the press release on their website, it sounds like they had a therapy session ala Metallica). Well talk they did, and they decided to do what they do best -tour like mad men all over the globe and shred like monsters. So if you can't handle all the rest of the metal at Soundwave, rock down to The Hordern.
