Paisley Underground mainstays Rain Parade have reunited after 25 years, performing Saturday night at The Earl in Atlanta during a benefit concert to raise money to help Bobby Sutliff, singer/guitarist/songwriter for ’80s contemporaries The Windbreakers, who was seriously injured in a car accident last summer.
While the show had been announced as the band’s first in a quarter century, the group actually debuted its reunited lineup last month with a low-key appearance as an opening act at a San Francisco club. Singer-guitarist Matt Piucci told Atlanta Music Guide: “We didn’t want to show up in Atlanta without having taken the band out for a spin.”
The band — featuring original/early members Piucci, Steven Roback and John Thoman, plus Mark Hanley, Alec Palao and Game Theory drummer Gil Ray — only has one other show on the books a the moment, an appearance at the MTT Fest in Calgary, Canada, in April.
Below, we’ve rounded up some fan-shot video of the Atlanta reunion gig:
