After what feels like months upon months of waiting after an initial rumor was leaked by 90’s 107.7 The End and newish KEXP DJ Marco Collins that Seattle’s own Sunny Day Real Estate had reunited and was gearing up for a tour, we have confirmation from numerous sources the first I believe to be Andy Harms of 107.7 The End's blog that the rumor is indeed true and that SDRE are playing a reunion gig in Seattle on October 16th at The Paramount. Last month Jeremy Enigk released one of the best records of the year so far, a solo outing called “OK Bear”, and played an amazing show at Neumos with a 13 piece orchestra. With the rumors swirling and the show booked many including I thought we might get an early sampling of Sunny Day as part of that show. Needless to say the SDRE reunion did not happen that night, but Enigk did hint and basically confirm the rumors during the show while responding to fans shouted song requests, which was exactly what I wanted to hear.
Late last week it was semi-officially announced that Sunny Day Real Estate with original members Jeremy Enigk, William Goldsmith, Dan Hoerner, and Nate Mendel would be going on tour, with initial dates scheduled in Atlanta, Houston, Hollywood, San Fran, Denver, Minneapolis and of course Seattle at The Paramount Theater on October 16th. The tickets for what will surely be an unforgettable reunion gig go on sale next week for $28. I’ll be sure to update this when I find out more about when to buy your tickets; it’ll sell out really fast!!
In addition, Sub Pop Records will re-issue both Diary and the band’s second full-length album, commonly known as LP2 (or “The Pink Album” for its entirely pink cover). Both re-mastered albums will include rare bonus tracks as well as newly written liner notes and will be released on both CD and LP Sept. 15, 2009, just prior to the start of the tour.
