Failure‘s October touring will see them rejoined by former member, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen. Since Failure‘s original untimely demise, Troy has risen to fame as the longtime guitarist of Queens Of The Stone Age. Failure frontman Ken Andrews said of the upcoming trek:
“This is a very special tour to me for a couple of reasons. One reason is the fact that we have some very cool bands joining us: Hum, Torche, Local H, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. The second reason this tour is so special to me is that we have managed to secure our dear friend and former band mate, Troy Van Leeuwen as the fourth member of Failure for this tour. I’m personally excited by this as it’s going to allow us to expand our live sound and repertoire. Think “Snow Angel” and “I Can See Houses” from The Heart Is A Monster, as well as a few gems from the past like our cover of “Enjoy The Silence.””
Van Leeuwen played on four songs on the bands latest release, “The Heart Is A Monster“, as well as having previously toured with the band on “Fantastic Planet“. In addition, Failure have also posted two live clips from an Austin, TX show. See below for their performances of “Mulholland Dr.” and “Wet Gravity“.
