The Faint announces July/August Tour
June 13th, 2008 by intr0vertI, being from Nebraska, am a huge fan of The Faint. Luckily they are touring through L.A. doing 2 nights at the Fonda. I just might have to see them both. And after 4 years of waiting …a new record!
Press Release:
A culmination of nearly four years of writing and recording, Omaha quintet, The Faint are preparing to release their fifth album, Fasciinatiion, on August 5 on the band’s own newly-formed label, blank.wav. Working on their own without any time constraints, the songs went through many recorded incarnations before finding their final forms. The result is the best album in the band’s career, a record that is the purest culmination of The Faint’s brilliant musical instincts, ideas and aesthetic, with each member contributing equally to its creation.

Oh Sokol Hall. How I miss thee. I wish I could go back to the Danse Macabre CD release show and tell myself how important seeing Cursive, Bright Eyes and The Faint on one bill would be. I need memory TiVo.
