Whether "inactive" or "disbanded" or what have you, the fact is darling soft-pop duo Azure Ray haven't put out a record since 2003's Hold on Love and haven't played a show in ages. Imagine, then, the waves of glee that swept over fans of the band when it was announced Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink would reunite for a performance later this month.

The ladies are set to take the stage at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California on November 30; word from Saddle Creek is there are no plans for reunion activity beyond this event, so you'd do well not to sleep on this one. Cursive's Tim Kasher and Whispertown 2000 will open the show, and Now It's Overhead guy/ace producer Andy LeMaster will round out the Azure Ray trio at the Troubadour.

Both Taylor and Fink are reportedly wrapping up new solo joints, while Fink's Art in Manila project has been lying low of late.
