When a Facebook page for 
the former Kansas City band the Golden Republic surfaced in mid-April, a lot of people were buzzing with what exactly that meant. After a few weeks of promises and hints, we finally have some information on what’s going on and it’s very good news.
The original 1999 lineup of the indie pop band is reuniting! You’ll have a chance to see them perform once again during the Sonic Spectrum Anniversary Party. Sonic Spectrum’s Robert Moore made the announcement on his Facebook page Monday.
The original lineup consists of cousins Ben Grimes (Soft Reeds) and Ryan Shank (The Roman Numerals). The Republic Tigers’ Kenn Jankowski joined on guitar and Harry Anderson played bass.
Originally formed in 1999 under the name the People by cousins Ben Grimes and Ryan Shank, they were joined by Jankowski and bassist Harry Anderson
The party is June 25 at Kansas City’s RecordBar. Also on the bill are Secret Cities, Thee Water Moccasins and a special guest.
This is a show you won’t want to miss.
