At The Drive-In‘s upcoming reunion shows are highly unlikely to yield any new material. Band guitarist/vocalist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has been doing press lately and told Kerrang!:
“Will there be a new album? No, no, no. At The Drive-In is more of a nostalgia thing – it’s songs we wrote when we were all in our 20s and we’re doing a couple of shows.”
He also spoke to NME.com, revealing that financial reasons played good part in their decision to reunite. On that he stated:
“We’re not getting any younger and there’s been an offer of money every year. You can’t avoid that. You’d be a fool and a politician to pretend that wasn’t part of it.”
Current At The Drive-In reunion shows include:
04/15 Indio, CA – Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival
04/22 Indio, CA – Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival
07/12 Benicàssim, SPA – FIB Festival
