the Need briefly reunited for a handful of benefit shows

In 2010, the Need briefly reunited for a handful of benefit shows for their friend (and former Kill Rock Stars employee) Natalie Cox, in order to help with her medical expenses. These shows were held in Seattle and Portland with bills that also featured The Bangles , C Average and Joe Preston’s solo project, Thrones . Several years later, the Need reformed for a second time and embarked on a West Coast tour in 2013. Additionally, the band released Resurrection , a compilation album that included previously released songs from all three studio albums, early demo material and compilation tracks. Both the album title and artwork suggest the possibly of continued output, with its cover stating “in which 13 years later the dead doth rise again” and the more blatant “we’re baaaaaaack [ sic ]” exclaimed in the albums’ liner notes.
