The Godfathers — one of the best, if not most underrated, U.K. rock bands of the 1980s — triumphantly reformed in 2008, and capped the year off by announcing a short, eight-date U.S. tour that was to have taken place this month.

Plus, there are a few live performances from Chicago up on YouTube, including this one:
