British indie band 'The Bluetones' are making a comeback with a September tour and by re-issuing two of their classic albums - 1996 debut 'Expecting To Fly' and 1998's wild-west infused 'Return To The Last Chance Saloon'. Both albums will be re-released as double CD's featuring bonus versions and B-sides picked by the band.
As ever with nineties UK indie bands, the B-sides are often more sought after than many of the album tracks and singles and the Bluetones are no exception and the reissue of Last Chance Saloon will feature the cult track "I Was A Teenage Jesus" which front man Mark Morriss admits has been one of the most requested songs at Bluetones and his own solo concerts.
"This is one of my favourite things we ever recorded,” he says. “One of the first songs written for the Last Chance Saloon sessions, it didn’t make the cut for the album as I think we felt it was a bit too light-hearted at the time.”
The band split in 2011 after a string of underwhelming album releases which never managed to capture public imagination in the way their first two albums did, although the band always retained a hardcore live following throughout their career.
Details of the September tour are as follows:
