The multi-platinum, Pennsylvania, post-grunge/alt-rock group Live — also known as LĪVE or +LĪVE+ — returns to the area Saturday for a show in the Premier Theater at Foxwoods.

Time tends to speed along so, if you missed it, the band’s singer/songwriter, Ed Kowalczyk, quit the group several years ago. BUT … he’s back! Rumors are that he was busy working on a clever new way to stylize the band’s name, including:

1. ^^LiVe++

2. Live (lIVE)

3. The Ed Kowalczyk Band

It’s also been a long time since the original quartet — including guitarist Chad Taylor, drummer Chad Gracey and bassist Patrick Dahlheimer — released a new album. But that’s OK because the group is a genuine force in concert, and they’ll certainly perform favorites such as “Lightning Crashes,” “I Alone” and “All Over You.”

Live, 8 p.m. Saturday, Premier Theater, Foxwoods; $25-$60; www.foxwoods.com.
