Hold The Phone, Buzzgrinder

September 25, 2009 / 2 Comments

Buzzgrinder whipped up a little post today about a new Sunny Day Real Estate album. I say “whipped up,” because they certainly embellished something. Here’s the “scoop”: Regular Buzzgrinderer Travis Lee dropped us a tasty tidbit. He just saw Sunny Day Real Estate in Minneapolis, and during the new song they’ve been playing on their reunion … [Read more…]

On and On and On

September 23, 2009 / Leave a Comment

I wrote another piece for The Boston Phoenix, this time about… Sunny Day Real Estate. Whoda thunk it? For folks wondering about A) all the reunion hubub and why it’s happening 2) what’s the big deal with the band C) just how the band got back together and 3.14) the details of the reunion and … [Read more…]

Video: SDRE – "10"/"New Song"

September 20, 2009 / Leave a Comment

For folks who want proof that a new Sunny Day Real Estate song exists, it’s been uploaded onto YouTube. YouTube user Jnuhjnuh (a spin on LP2‘s “J’Nuh”) captured the performance of what is believed to be called “10” at the band’s Portland show. Here’s the video: The audio quality ain’t the best, but you can … [Read more…]

SDRE Debut New Song In Vancouver

September 19, 2009 / Leave a Comment

According to Paste, Sunny Day officially debuted what is most likely referred to as “10” (aka their new song) at the tour kickoff in Vancouver. Here’s what they said about it: Only marginally less impressive was the debut of a new Sunny Day Real Estate number, appropriately titled “New Song,” where the guitars suggested someone has … [Read more…]

SDRE Tacoma show on YouTube

September 18, 2009 / 1 Comment

Adam9512 was nice enough to record the entire Sunny Day secret show that was in Tacoma the other night and post it on YouTube (thanks Stereogum). Audio quality isn’t great (but really, how can you improve upon seeing a band in person?) but it’s a nice sneak peek for folks who have tickets for their … [Read more…]

New Sunny Day Real Estate Song?!

September 17, 2009 / 1 Comment

Sunny Day Real Estate kicked off their tour tonight with an unofficial, surprise show in Tacoma, Washington. And apparently they have a new song. The band members have been fairly open during interviews about the unknown status of the band’s future and their commitment to other projects, and in an interview with The AV Club … [Read more…]

Origin Story

September 11, 2009 / 1 Comment

I came across this odd post entitled “The Origin of Emo” on an unusually blank WordPress blog (though the thing appears to be written by a Thom Lloyd, which is the gmail address at the bottom of the article). It’s the only post, and it’s written in a pseudo-term-paper light, with citations that don’t really … [Read more…]

Kaboom!

September 6, 2009 / Leave a Comment

I recently uncovered a load of random Sunny Day… well, everything. For example, I’d been trying to find a picture of the infamous Nordstrom ad the band did when they first got together, and the searches would usually be futile. But, with the website sunnydayrealestate.net fixed up, it’s online, as clear as day: The big … [Read more…]

In Circles

September 3, 2009 / Leave a Comment

When music-inclined and web-savy individuals open their browsers this morning and click over to Pitchfork, they may end up reading a review with this funny little quote: What immediately strikes you about Diary is it doesn’t sound intended to be a gamechanger– even if it’s no surprise that one of emo’s most enduring documents is called Diary … [Read more…]
