The Shark’s Own Private Reunion
Posted on April 18, 2009 Leave A Comment
Rumors abound that seminal Indie band, Sunny Day Real Estate, has reformed with original members and is currently practicing somewhere in Seattle, preparing for a potential tour.
To me, it sounded too good to be true. Afterall, when my other beloved band, The Smashing Pumpkins reformed 2 years ago, I figured it was a lucky fluke. (Maybe not so lucky given Billy’s bitter tirades against fans and now Jimmy Chamberlein’s recent departure)
But this rumor started from a random Twitter sounded more and more plausible once put in the light of more recent comments made by Jeremy about a reunion. Sunny Day (in various forms) has broken up and reformed twice now once as SDRE, and a second time with all but Dan as The Fire Theft. Add to it the Foo Fighters indefinite hiatus . . . and a perfect storm of timing is brewing . . . and then add to it this rumor from the only respectable radio jockey in history, 107.7′s former in-crowd-dude Marco Collins.
So I checked in with a very reliable source who is very close to Jeremy. The result?
A ‘no comment *wink wink*’ response. In other words, another confirmation that Sunny Day is, indeed, back.
Hopefully we will hear official word soon.
EDIT:
More confirmation
