Don’t call them the Reivers
John Croslin, Kim Longacre, Cindy Toth and Garrett Williams are back together again, writing songs and rehearsing regularly with plans to play out again. But the band will not be the Reivers, or even Zeitgeist for that matter. “We’re looking for a new name,” says Longacre. “We’re going to be playing all new songs; we don’t want to be a reunion band.”
In February, the former “new sincerity” leaders played their first shows in more than 15 years, a pair of sellouts at the Parish. The shows were so tight musically, with the old feel of cameraderie flowing back, that there was speculation that the Reivers might do a mini-tour. Instead they’ve decided to start over.
“We’re not going to play any old songs,” Longacre says, adding that the “new” group has already written six songs together. But then she thinks about it a second. “I guess we’ll probably have to play a Reivers song or two, but the main focus is on new material.”

As someone who has watched these musicians grow throughout the years I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. I am more than a little excited.
