Reunited Canadian punk forefathers Simply Saucer will release their very first official full-length record April 29 via Sonic Unyon. The previously reported album is called Half Human, Half Live, and it serves as a follow-up of sorts to the Cyborgs Revisited compilation of recordings from the band's initial incarnation in the 1970s.

True to its name, Half Human's first six songs are studio versions of never-recorded tunes from the band's original heyday. The last six were all recorded live for a private audience on June 23, 2007.

After the release of Half Human, Half Live, Simply Saucer have a handful of wholly live dates starting May 3 at Toronto's Over the Top Festival.
