The Watchmen Reformed

Seminal Winnipeg rock outfit The Watchmen will reform this fall to play two shows in Toronto. The quintet will play The Horseshoe Tavern, where the band was discovered by producer Chris Wardman, on September 26 and 27, 2008.

The band got together twenty years ago and quickly became a popular live act. They recorded six studio releases, including 1992's acclaimed debut McLaren Furnace Room, before going their separate ways in 2003. Before splitting, The Watchmen did one last tour from which they offered full soundboard recordings from each concert via download -- Last Road Trip Download Series.

Tickets for the show are $20 and available through Ticketmaster.
