Hat tip goes to Brandon Coomer for this one.

According to this post at the Singing News Forums, the 17-year old pianist that has been traveling with The Kingsmen for several months, Cody McVey, was introduced as the official Kingsmen pianist. With him comes a bit of Kingsmen history; Cody was the final student of the late Anthony Burger.

What does this mean for the return of The Kingsmen band? Well, they’re one step closer. All that’s left to do is find a bass guitarist, and if Brandon Reese steps behind the drumset once again, it will complete the reconstruction of the Mighty Kingsmen band!

Keep an eye on this one; I’ll post a press release as soon as (and if) it becomes available.

Update: Susan Unthank commented on the Coomer Cove blog that she talked with Brandon Reese and nothing is official yet. Stay tuned.
