The Beta Band to Reunite for First Tour in Over 20 Years

The Beta Band, the uncategorizable Scottish indie-rock band behind "Dry the Rain," will reunite this autumn for their first tour in over 20 years.

The foursome will launch their reunion trek in their native U.K. before heading to North America in October on a 14-date tour that begins in Vancouver and works its way eastward before concluding Nov. 1 at Brooklyn Steel. self-titled debut was “fucking awful” and “one of the worst records that’ll come out this year” — and rather than remaining in perpetual debt to their label, they opted to call it quits in 2004, just three months after the release of their final album Heroes to Zeros. The Beta Band’s reunion tour — which will be “celebrating The Three EPs and other classics,” the group said on social media — comes a year after Mason himself embarked on a North American solo trek for the first time in over a decade.
