The Feelies Playing ATP, Southpaw, Reissuing Albums

The Feelies - The Good Earth The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms

New Jersey’s The Feelies are coming out of hibernation again to play shows at this year’s ATP NY Festival and at Southpaw on September 13 (Buy Tickets). The Southpaw website indicates that The Feelies show is two sets, so I’m going to assume that they’ll be performing their albums Crazy Rhythms and the The Good Earth in their entirety. In other Feelies news, both Crazy Rhythms and The Good Earth are being reissued by Bar None on CD and 180 gram vinyl with deluxe packaging and bonus tracks on September 8, 2009.

Check out the full press release for the reissues after the jump.
