After much speculation over whether or not they would join the many bands from the ’90s reuniting this year (fueled by lead singer Jeremy Enigk telling a Seattle rock station that the band had gotten together in March), alt-rock legends Sunny Day Real Estate have decided to get back together to play their first concerts since 2000. So far, two shows have been confirmed: a show at the Paramount in their hometown of Seattle on Oct. 16, and a concert at San Francisco’s Fillmore on Oct. 13. More dates TK, I hope? A few songs from their catalog after the jump.
“Seven”
“In Circles”
“J’Nuh”
“Killed By An Angel”
Hayley Williams is going to be so stoked.

sdre/get up kids tour
@sinceyoubeensean: God just contort my eyes into a state of permanent tears if that ever happens.
I probably will not be able to afford concert-going by the time these tickets evaporate, but I am still shaking with excitement.
I’m an unashamed fan of The Rising Tide, no matter what anyone says.
@TheRunningboard7: It’s a perfectly fine album…they all are. I’m particularly fond of How it Feels to Be Something On, but could draw liberally from each of them if making a best-of mix.
@sinceyoubeensean: I saw the Get-Up Kids open for Weezer and it was the biggest slice of hokum I’ve ever seen from a band with “cred.” Your average Jimmy Buffett tribute band was less cheesy.
