[Speng]

According to Billboard.com, SPINAL TAP will embark on a 30-date concert tour this spring. The six-week theater trek, dubbed "Unwigged & Unplugged: An Evening with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer", kicks off April 17 in Vancouver and runs through May 31 in Milwaukee. Tickets go on sale starting Friday (March 6).

The trio is in the midst of recording a new SPINAL TAP album that will be released May 26 and feature the "original studio versions" of the live songs on "This is Spinal Tap" and some new songs — including the ironically titled "Short and Sweet", a 20-minute epic to which they're "adding stellar guitar player (guest) as we speak," according to Michael McKean.

Have they jumped the shart yet. Break like the Wind sucked. Tell Christopher Guest I want my 10 bucks back and his wife has a dick.

Break like the Wind was pretty bad, I bought it used for a few bucks and felt ripped off.
I missed the last "tour" in the early 90's, I'd go check this out if it was free.

I love This is Spinal Tap, but this is really milking the movie.

IMO This Is Spinal Tap is a masterpiece every else they have tried to do afterwads has been shit.
