   Tristan Bourdeau de Fontenay to All   
   Alt-Rock Trio 'The Reach' Reunites For 2

   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   The band formed in 1994 in Dallas, TX, garnering major label interest and   
   critical acclaim for the aforementioned "Closer" album. After disbanding in   
   1997 for all the usual reasons, drummer Tommy Watts and Craig Miller reunited   
   briefly to record a second    
   album, LIFT in 2003.   
      
   They are now reuniting again with bassist Dave Scott to release a new single   
   (covers of MGMT's "Time to Pretend" and The Stranglers' "No Mercy"), along   
   with a remastered version of LIFT, and a fully remixed and remastered 20th   
   Anniversary Edition of    
   Closer.   
      
   Although largely ignored in their hometown of Dallas, TX, the band has gained   
   a passionate following over the years in Denver, CO, with the help of the   
   owners of the Bull & Bush pub, who have spread the word about their unique   
   sound. "The bottom line is,    
   we were one of the better bands of the 90's, despite our lack of exposure,"   
   said Miller. "When people hear us, they agree."   
      
   The show will be this Halloween night, Saturday October 31st, and is sure to   
   be a memorable one. "The guys at the Bull and Bush have kept our music alive,   
   and we're pumped to bring our sound back to life in Denver," said bassist   
   Scott. "We plan on    
   bringing our best."   
      
   Release Dates:   
   LIFT (2015 remastered edition) - available now   
   Closer (20th Anniversary Edition) - available Oct. 20, 2015   
   Time to Pretend/No Mercy - available Oct. 20, 2015
