To celebrate the re-issue of its Diary and Sunny Day Real Estate albums, Sunny Day Real Estate has hit the road to bring its particular brand of Pacific Northwest emo/indie rock/post-hardcore music to our eagerly awaiting ears. The Stranger’s blog has a write up of the first show on the group’s US tour, which took place at Hell’s Kitchen in Tacoma, Washington on Wednesday, and dangles the possibility of a new Sunny Day Real Estate song being in the pipeline. The band had written the title “10 (New Song)” in its setlist, between fan favorites “In Circles” and “Sometimes”; while the song didn’t end up getting played, vocalist Dan Hoerner admitted that it was a new song, but that the band had shied away from playing it that night. Meaning that this new song does indeed exist and could be played at any point during SDRE’s tour. Quite exciting.
