Scary Kids Scaring Kids plays first show in a decade with former Saosin vocalist Cove Reber – watch

*

When former Saosin vocalist Cove Reber left the band a decade ago, it’s unlikely he ever imagined himself back in the scene as things have transpired the last 10 years. With late Scary Kids Scaring Kids Tyson Stevens unfortunately being unable to be part of the band’s recent 15-year anniversary shows for their debut album The City Sleeps In Flames (which is going on right now), the fan favorite post-hardcore band were able to get dynamic vocalist Reber on board instead. Now, the band’s footage of their first show with Reber – back on January 13th – has surfaced.

While the partnership happened naturally, keyboardist Pouyan Afkary noted to Loudwire last year that it was fortunate timing that Cove joined the band.

“We had no plans of reforming or ever doing a reunion tour,” Afkary told Loudwire last week. “Previously, it just never felt right; we broke up for a reason. But when Tyson passed away, there really was that moment where it truly felt like it would never happen again. That was difficult because we had kind of struck gold and did what so many people dream of doing, which is finding success in music with all of your closest friends from high school. To see that we had made it so far, and then for it to fall apart, it was pretty disappointing.”

The band has multiple dates with Cove as their vocalist still left to go, and you can watch the footage of the band performing The City Sleeps In Flames songs as well.
