Bounce on over to Ben Folds' Website for some major news: Ben Folds Five, the long-gone trio of Folds, Darren Jessee and Robert Sledge, is reuniting for a Sept. 18 show at UNC-Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall. It will be their first show together in almost a decade. The set will include all of the trio's 1999 pop masterpiece "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner."
Tickets go on sale Monday through etix.com; expect a terrifyingly quick sellout. And as a fantastic bonus (as if one were needed), Jessee will open the show with an acoustic Hotel Lights set.
