We haven't posted any news on the fIREHOSE reunion since it was announced they would be playing Coachella and touring around the two-weekend festival. Shame on us. But now that news comes via Pitchfork that Columbia/Legacy will be releasing a two-disc set entitled lowFLOWS: the Columbia anthology ('91-'93) on April 3, I am taking the opportunity to finally get a post out about the band. Forgive me!
The collection will include the band's 1991 album Flyin' the Flannel, the Live Totem Pole EP and the 1993 album Mr. Machinery Operator, complete with bonus tracks from the era. Check out the complete tracklist below.
In addition to the fIREHOSE reunion, both George Hurley and Mike Watt will be performing songs by the Minutemen at next weekend's All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Jeff Mangum in Minehead, UK. We have arranged to have coverage of the festival, so be sure to check back here for reports on all the great bands performing, including The Magnetic Fields, Joanna Newsom, Thurston Moore, Sebadoh, Low, Scratch Acid, The Raincoats, The Olivia Tremor Control, and of course, Jeff Mangum.
