It looks like the inevitable is finally happening -- Ben Folds is reuniting with his former bandmates Robert Sledge and Darren Jesse. For the first time in nearly a decade, Ben Folds Five will play an exclusive one-off performance later this month at UNC's Memorial Hall. But here's the catch -- the band is only playing 1999's underrated final BF5 album The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner in its entirety. Those looking forward to hearing "Kate" or "Brick" will unfortunately be out of luck. I have a feeling that this might lead to an eventual tour, but this will likely have to wait after Ben is finished promoting his solo album which comes out later this month. But hey, I'll take what I can get here.
