Well my music month just got made...

Texas post-hardcore rockers At the Drive-In have posted a cryptic tweet that all but announces that they will be reuniting for the first time in 11 years. "¡ ATTENTION ! To whom it may concern: AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11 year silence THIS STATION IS …NOW…OPERATIONAL," the band wrote in a tweet earlier this afternoon.
 
Members of the band have been hinting a possible reunion for a few years now. "We've been making amends with a lot of the members and having some really good talks with them," frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala told Drowned in Sound in 2009. "We just have to iron out a lot of personal things. A lot of it we've dealt with already and I've apologized for a lot of things I've said and the way it ended. We'll see what happens."
 

 

 

Pretty stoked right now I must say.

Now THAT's starting off the year right!

 

Funny, I just saw Omar Rodriguez-Lopez play with Les Butcherettes a few weeks ago. The guy looked 14.

Loved this band ever since I saw this back in 2000. Relationship of Command is still one of the greatest rock albums I've ever heard.

 

Curious timing given that there's a new Mars Volta record out in a couple of months. Hard not to suspect that this is a paycheque deal, but they split before they their audience really found them, so I'll let them off.

Kinda conflicted on this one ...

 

On one hand, I echo Paul C's comment that they did split up pretty early in their career.  If they were actually writing new material then I am completely in favor of this news.

If they are just going to play Coachella, I'm slightly less in favor. But I'm still going to try like hell  to go to the show if they come to Atlanta.

 

You know what sucks, though?  If they hadn't split so soon after Relationship, I believe they could have been the next Nirvana.  Not neccesarily the Diamond selling success of Nevermind but they could of definitely been one of the top rock bands of the last decade. And as much as I liked the first two Mars Volta albums, a non-split might have saved us from both Sparta and the recent output from MV.
