With the reunion tour well underway, Sunny Day Real Estate have been getting quite a bit of media exposure which is unexpected but very awesome for those not able to get tickets to the shows.
Sunny Day Real Estate Back and Bigger Than Ever!
I have to admit that I’m quite shocked at the attention Sunny Day has been getting. While I know they deserve every bit of it, the last record “The Rising Tide” was not well received by long time fans and the excitement had seemed to die off for a lot of people. I know I’m in the minority here but I thought “The Rising Tide” was a masterpiece and without a doubt their best release. While it was obvious the shows would sell out, I did not expect to see them on late night tv or NPR for that matter.
The closest show to me was Atlanta and sold out fairly quick so having these high quality clips are making up for it a little. Youtube is cool but I need a little higher production values then what you usually get their.
NPR Live Podcast of DC Show on 9/30/09
Last night NPR did a live podcast of the DC show and if you missed it, it is now available for streaming here.
Live on Jimmy Fallen 9/29/09
Just a day earlier, Sunny Day performed their classic “Seven” on the Jimmy Fallen show which was quite a surprise.
With the recent re-releases of “Diary” and “LP2″ the set is almost completely from those two records. Before the band left for tour they also wrote a new song which they are performing live. Hopefully this a sign of some good things to come.
