At The Drive-In Reunited!

[Phantasma Del Mar]

I was just basing it off of a bootleg DVD I have of them in Japan and Germany. It has been over 11 years, the setlist could be very different for all we know. Like I said earlier though, I would be VERY surprised if we got anything from Acrobatic Tenement. Not to say that I don't want to hear those songs, but Omar and Cedric's quotes throughout the years about a lot of their stuff sounding dated leaves me with the impression that they won't be busting out crazy early stuff.

Then again, they are reuniting, so I hope I'm wrong.

i hope so too, acrobatic tenement and vaya were my faves. they'll bring it regardless

[Interwebz]

It seems that their last few shows were Napolean Solo then Catacombs last.
Everyone post your favourite misheard lyrics.
For Now...We Toast
We steam rolled past salami
Did you trip on your shoelace untied
And now we toast

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Having found out the story behind 'Initiation', I'm revising my opinion about the band not playing anything from Acrobatic Tenement.

"We're not getting any younger and there's been an offer of money every year," he told NME. "You'd be a fool and a politician to pretend that wasn't part of it."

"Will there be a new album? No, no, no. At the Drive-In is more of a nostalgia thing-- it's songs we wrote when we were all in our 20s and we're doing a couple of shows"

"Obviously [the reunion] is going to be weird. It's like getting back with your ex-wife, only in this case there are four ex-wives!"

[clleadz]

I have to say, I am happy to hear they aren't going to play any new songs. This performance will be about nostalgia for me too, and I want to hear the songs there were playing 11 years ago

[swdshfsk]

I just hope they don't give a lackluster performance. There are a number of bands who can get by on the music being front and center, even if the show if phoned-in. Not ATDI. It has to be balls-to-the-wall, otherwise I'll suspect money won out over nostalgia.

[vulcandeathgrip]

Nostalgia or not you would have think that they are smart enough to realise that a luckluster show will tarnish their legacy. I am hoping like hell that they are mentally prepared to add to that legacy not detract from it. They are a huge part of the reason I am flying around the world for this festival so will more than a little bummed if the phone it in.

[D-BO.]

getting more excited for this set by the day. Just hope a bunch of moshing bros dont make me open a can of whoop-ass

[Interwebz]

So who is going to cry the most when they appear on stage for the first time? I vote myself

Maybe not when they first walk on stage, but when they break into the chorus of Invalid Litter Department i'll probably bawl like a small child

ON MY WAY
NAILS BROKE AND FELL
INTO THE
WISHING WELL
WISHING WELL
WISHING WELLLLL

:')

[ohaithereguise]

How is this not the most discussed band on the boards so far?

People are too busy bitching about the Sahara.

It's a damn shame that one of the best and possibly the rarest act on the lineup isn't being discussed more.

MORE VIDS!

I'm thinking more

TREMORS THAT HOLD US
TREMORS THAT WARN US
NOTHING BLEEDS LIKE

[JonnyM]

Main reason this performance will TOPPLE any previous ATDI performances....


Cedric can actually sing now, and quite well I might add.

[JonnyM]

P.S.

HOW ARE ALL OF YOU FORGETTING PROXIMA CENTAURI!!!!!

[DeadSkin]

[ambient sounds]

God dam I was obsessed with ATDI when i was like 16 or 17. A bit worried that cedric and company wont be able to bring the energy anymore but I think I'll be getting pretty crazy just like I did for DFA last year. Either way I'm excited because i thought I would never be able to see these guys.
More videos!!

[jleon6]

They had a pretty tame show at last years coachella.

So tame they weren't even there.

[ialvarado2]

So tame they weren't even there.

Yes they were... well, at least Omar and Cedric.

[kreutz2112]

I'd say that was closer to a mars Volta show than an at the drive in show.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Omar and Cedric playing Mars Volta songs = At The Drive-In?

Um...

[JonnyM]

holy crap, if they play that song like that i will literally cry then GO CRAZY at the end!

[grind]

Any thoughts on when they might play? Day or night etc?

I know reunion bands can vary from main stage during the day to outdoor stage at night.

[KidRobot]

They are the second highest billed act on Sunday. A daytime set is not going to happen.

[myfirstcoachella]

headlining the outdoor stage

[xuclarockerx]

shit, conflict w/ Dre & Snoop?

[syrrus101]

Yes they were... well, at least Omar and Cedric.

I think people are getting this confused with One Day as a Lion

[syrrus101]

shit, conflict w/ Dre & Snoop?

Dr Dre & Snoop < ATDI

easy
