The Long Ryders are coming back together again to play in the U.S. for the first time in over two decades, at The Earl in Atlanta, GA on January 10, 2009! The Long Ryders - Sid Griffin (guitar, vocals), Stephen McCarthy (vocals, guitar), Tom Stevens (bass, vocals), Greg Sowders (drums) - last reunited back in 2004 to tour the UK and Europe, but have not played as a band on U.S. soil since their break-up in 1987.  The show at The Earl - an intimate 270 seater club - will be the first time the band has played together in the U.S. since that tour. Tickets are $18 ($20 at the door) and are now available through http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/990.aspx This may be your only chance to see The Long Ryders live in the U.S., so if you're smart you'll buy your tickets NOW, as this is sure to be a sell-out!

Answers to many questions I've had recently:

WHEN WILL THE LONG RYDERS PLAY AMERICA OR GERMANY OR ... 
Rest assured that The Long Ryders are still a happily reunited band, and are anxious to resume gigs as soon as our schedules coincide. The Atlanta show is confirmed, We hope we can play more gigs for our fans all over the world in 2009.

ARE ANOTHER ROOM AND POINTS REVISITED OUT OF PRINT?
Another Room and Points Revisited CDs are now sold out. Both releases are currently available only on iTunes. Reissues of both will hopefully happen soon.

WHEN WILL YOU BE PLAYING IN name of city?
Soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks to all for staying in touch, and keeping the faith.
Tom
