The original Joe Jackson Band, which first formed in 1978 and played its last show in 1980, has regrouped for a new tour and album.
According to Jackson’s official website, the band played seven September warm-up gigs in the U.K., before recording 11 new songs in Surrey, England. A March 11 release date has been set for the album, which Jackson produced.
In a statement, Jackson described the album as “high-energy, fun, and in the spirit of the first couple of albums, but more mature.”
The reunion of Jackson with bassist Graham Maby, guitarist Gary Sanford and drummer Dave Houghton came in part to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the recording of “Look Sharp,” the band’s debut recording.
