Once More, With Feeling? The Suspects Re-Re-Unite

Yep, it’s happening again, believe it or not — since their last reunion show last January went off like a bomb, H-town ska legends The Suspects have decided to, well, do it again. They’ll be playing at The Continental Club next Friday, December 21st, with The Aqua Velva & ’80s cover act Molly and the Ringwalds. Which is, uh, gonna sound awful familiar, ’cause I think they played with the A.V. last time, too, and the show was definitely at the Continental. Why mess with a good thing, right?

Anyway, whether you caught them last time they reunited or not, I guarantee that this will be a good show. It can’t not be a good show, I swear (well, unless you hate ska, that is, in which case your mileage may vary). I’m gonna try my damnedest to get out of the house & go, myself, despite all the holiday insanity that’ll be going on right around that time. Oh, and if you want to check out what the band sounds like, visit their Myspace or download some lovingly-ripped (w/permission, of course) MP3s here.

Of course, seeing as this is the second time they’ve done this (not counting the everybody-in-from-all-incarnations final shows back when the band actually broke up), I have to ask: could it be that the band’s having second thoughts about this whole “breakup” thing? It’s been 5 years, they’ve all had some time apart…maybe it’s time to give it another shot? The geographical scattering could make things difficult, sure, but hey, weirder shit’s happened…
