- Face_Dancer_(band) abstract "Face Dancer is an American rock group formed at the University of Rhode Island in 1974. They were most popular in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. region and released two albums on Capitol records in the late 1970s and early 1980s.Face Dancer was founded by Carey Kress and DJ Long at the University of Rhode Island in 1974. They took their name from the shapeshifting creatures in Frank Herbert's novel Dune. Soon, the band relocated to Washington, D.C. where they met Scott McGinn. Originally, Face Dancer was a progressive rock band, but McGinn led the band to pursue more original songwriting and a new stylistic direction. The band's popularity as a live act in the mid-1970s led to a record deal with Capitol Records. In 1979, the band traveled to Los Angeles to record their debut album, entitled \"This World.\" The album was successful in the Baltimore/Washington region, but did not achieve larger commercial success.In 1980, following pressure from Capitol, lead vocalist Carey Kress was replaced Michael Milsap. The band traveled to England and recorded a second album, \"About Face,\" which was released in 1980. This album also failed to attract commercial success and after being dropped by Capitol, the band folded in 1982.Face Dancer reunited in 1990 to record the album \"Midnite Raid,\" adding former Ravyns guitarist David Bell to the line-up. In 2003, a live album entitled \"Alive\" was released. In 2009, \"This World\" was released on CD by British reissue label Rock Candy Records. \"About Face\" still has not been reissued on CD. Face Dancer remained inactive until 2013, when a reunited version of the band featuring Kevin \"Spike\" settles of Never Never on vocals performed a show in Edgewood, MD. Settles was later replaced by Michael Leigh. The reformed Face Dancer has announced an interest in recording a new album, but no release date has been given as of 2014.Lead singer Carey Kress was diagnosed with cancer in 2004 and died in 2008.".
