Reunited Guided By Voices announce tour, coming to Carrboro

Indie rock legends, Guided By Voices, announced a few weeks back that they would reunite their classic 1992-1996 line-up for Matador Records' 21st birthday party in Las Vegas in October, and now they've announced a full tour to follow the party. The line-up, featuring Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennel, have not performed together in 14 years.

Among the dates is a show at the Cat's Cradle on Friday, Oct. 22. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, Friday, July 15 via etix for $27. An opening act has not been announced yet.

[UPDATE: J. Mascis' new band Sweet Apple will open the show.]

Check out the classic video for "I Am a Scientist" from the band's 1994 album Bee Thousand below, which features the reunited line-up. You'll also find the full reunion tour dates below as well.

The band are scheduled to make a TV appearance too. They'll be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Nov. 4, so be sure to set your DVR.
