The Faces - 2008 Reunion Tour?
Not sure how this news slipped by, but I'm intrigued by this blog post written by Terry Staunton that I saw tonight at MOG:
The Faces will be playing live shows in the US and the UK next year, more than three decades since they parted company. Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones are currently putting together an itinerary, with an official announcment due in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, the group’s four studio albums (First Step, Long Player, A Nod Is As Good As A Wink… To A Blind Horse, and Ooh La La) are being reissued with previously unheard bonus tracks in October, each release featuring new liner notes written by my good self.

Background: The Faces formed in 1969 from the remaining members of The Small Faces after Steve Marriott left to form Humble Pie.Ron Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (vocals) (both from The Jeff Beck Group) joined former Small Faces members Ronnie Lane (bass), Ian McLagan (keyboards) and Kenney Jones, (drums) to complete the line-up. They performed through the early 1970s, before Stewart moved on to a solo career and Wood joined The Rolling Stones in 1975.
