Superdrag Reunion

I saw this in the "just announced" thread, but this deserves its own topic. :D I'm so happy!! I may be flying back to DC to catch them at the 9:30 again. Many great memories of seeing them perform there.


SUPERDRAG LINE-UP REUNITES FOR SELECT U.S. DATES

Knoxville, TN - Superdrag will be back on tour this Fall, with all four
original members. Last seen onstage together more than 8 years ago, the
original line-up of John Davis (guitar, vocals), Don Coffey Jr (drums),
Brandon Fisher (guitar) and Tom Pappas (bass) have 6 performances
scheduled for 2007.

Though Superdrag may be best-known for their 1996 major-label debut
Regretfully Yours and the hit single "Sucked Out" that helped launch the
band towards international success, the follow-up Head Trip In Every
Key, issued in 1998, was widely regarded as the band's creative peak.
Amidst label woes and line-up changes, namely the departures of founding
members Pappas and Fisher, the band would issue their third and fourth
full-lengths In The Valley Of Dying Stars and Last Call For Vitriol to
universal critical accolades, and expand their hard-won fanbase through
incessant touring, with the help of bassist Sam Powers and guitarist Mic
Harrison. Many of Superdrag's latter-day fans have never had an
opportunity to see the original line-up onstage together…until now!

Tickets will be on sale through (???) beginning July (??) for the
following dates:

10.05.07 Nashville, TN City Hall
10.13.07 Chicago, IL Metro
10. 20.07 Knoxville, TN Barley's Taproom
11.02.07 New York, NY The Fillmore @ Irving Plaza
11.03.07 Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club
11.08.07 Washington, D.C. 9:30 Club

Superdrag formed in 1993. The band issued 3 acclaimed 7"s and one EP,
The Fabulous 8-Track Sound Of Superdrag, before the release of their
first proper full-length in 1996. Changin' Tires On The Road To Ruin, a
collection of b-sides, alternate versions and rarities, was released in
April 2007.

Damnit. You beat me to it.

I think I just peed a little in my cargo shorts.

i'm super excited about this.

'sucked out' is like my karaoke mainstay… well, that and 'pussy control.'

I heard the whole show is going to be Christian rock.

Wow. Superdrag SUCK

There's little chance of a quick sellout, but there is a presale tomorrow at noon:

I've listened to them and saw them live, and I don't get the fuss. Decent bar band, nothing more.

I think people are just excited to see them play again, though…it's been awhile.

The Pixies haven't worn well for me. I listened to them all the time years ago, but can't take them for more than a song at a time anymore. Are you able to listen to them on a regular basis?

if a band that can take the beach boys, my bloody valentine, raspberries, and SST label stuff a decent bar band then sign me up

I have it on good authority that there is NO Christian rock…only Superdrag songs…pretty much limited to the first two albums and previous EP's. For me, "Head Trip in Every Key" is one of the 5 best albums of the 90's. It'll be fantastic to hear those songs again. Their website mentions they will be holding an online survey to determine the set list. Just saying…

I'm not sure that's a complete, coherent, comprehendable sentence, but ok.

I won't have access to a computer until tomorrow night…think that'll pose a problem getting presale tickets? [If so, I can have someone do it for me…]

Was your authority God? Cuz he's kinda the highest authority. Ask the Hebrew National people.

Is there a more natural show opener than Keep It Close to Me?

Yes, it's called "Senorita" (they opened the two Farewell to Sam shows back in 2002 with it).
