Seminal post-punk band At the Drive-In are making an as-yet-to-be-determined triumphant return to music this year, according to an official announcement on their website. The band called it quits way back in 2000, and members went on to form The Mars Volta and Sparta, both of which have since severed ties as well. Now, after a smattering of one-off musical projects, they're getting the old band back together it seems.
Successful follow-ups from other long-dead bands like Refused and Desaparecidos has me crossing my fingers that At the Drive-In can deliver once more. Though, I remain skeptical that it'll just sound like Antemasque, the side project of singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala, produced by guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. At the Drive-In came at a very different point in the band members' lives, and trying to recapture that might not work as well.
If we all collectively wish upon a star, though, it'll be good. I promise. Hit the jump for a list of the announced North American tour dates and a briefest of brief teaser of new music.
