Bio
.. .. ......The closest to original line up was together again with the aim of doing one blockbuster gig at San Jose's Usual Nightclub. The 'San Jose Legends Show', as the club and promoter Zero Magazine billed it, featured three of the first SJ punk bands that were considered ground layers in the local scene, plus opening powerhouse The Forgotten! Ribzy was the first legends group, followed by Los Olvidados, with The Faction headlining. The show sold out over a week prior to the date, and was very well received by the sold out crowd. There were even two guys who drove all the way from New Jersey to see The Faction that night, dwarfing the previous sheer insane distance for one show that The Faction had committed going to Lincoln, Nebraska in '84! Spurred by the reception they received from the local media and crowd that night, the band agreed to have a go at it for real. Since then they have killed it in The Bay Area a few times, in Seattle, Washington, and Munster, Germany where they played their first show outside the USA in front of over a thousand people. They recorded a new album and toured Germany in the summer of 2002. Stay tuned!
