Twenty years ago this fall, Saosin's self-titled debut came out. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the band brings its 20th-anniversary tour to The Rave/Eagles Ballroom, with Silent Planet, Like Moths To Flames and Save Us opening and the show starting at 7 p.m.

Tickets are through Etix. The Eagles Ballroom holds 3,500.

The record is the reason for the trip. *Saosin* came out in September 2006, debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard 200, and produced the singles "Voices," "Bury Your Head" and "You're Not Alone." It has since been certified gold by the RIAA.

The bigger news is who is singing. Cove Reber joined the band in 2006 at 19, left in 2010, and is back for this run. He also sings on "Starting Over Again," the band's first new music with him in 14 years, and the band has signed with Sumerian Records. "Our self-titled album defined a major chapter of my life," Reber said when the tour was announced.

The tour opened Oct. 23 at the House of Blues in Anaheim and has worked east through early November, including New York's Webster Hall on Nov. 7, before turning back toward the Midwest. Silent Planet are on every listed date and Like Moths To Flames on most of them, so Milwaukee gets the full package. After the tour, the band is booked on the Emo's Not Dead Cruise out of Miami at the start of 2027.

The building has its own long history. The Eagles Club on Wisconsin Avenue was completed in the mid-1920s as the Milwaukee headquarters of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, designed by Russell Barr Williamson, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Until the mid-1950s the ballroom was known as Devine's Million Dollar Ballroom, a home for big band music and the performing arts. Today the complex holds five venues of different sizes, from bars up to the ballroom, and its acts over the years have run from Bob Dylan to the Sex Pistols to Weezer.

What to know before going: it is a Tuesday, the bill is four bands deep, and a 7 p.m. start means the openers will be on early. Save Us, Like Moths To Flames and Silent Planet each get their slot before the headliner.

Twenty years on, the record still has a room this size waiting for it. Bring your voice for "You're Not Alone."
