So, I’m pretty sure that it was fate that brought Sunny Day Real Estate back together. To wit: the band played the 9:30 Club here in Washington on 9/30 and hit the stage at 9:30 p.m. sharp. Coincidence? I think not. I was too busy enjoying the hell out of the show with my little brother (who had flown in specifically for the occasion) to document it, though I did cover the band’s NYC show the previous Sunday. My photos from that set can be found at Stereogum and my full-length review can be read at PopMatters. Here’s hoping that the band heeds the numerological signs and keeps this reunion train rolling for as long as possible.
