I saw this in the "just announced" thread, but this deserves its own topic.
I'm so happy!! I may be flying back to DC to catch them at the 9:30 again. Many great memories of seeing them perform there.
SUPERDRAG LINE-UP REUNITES FOR SELECT U.S. DATES
Knoxville, TN - Superdrag will be back on tour this Fall, with all four
original members. Last seen onstage together more than 8 years ago, the
original line-up of John Davis (guitar, vocals), Don Coffey Jr (drums),
Brandon Fisher (guitar) and Tom Pappas (bass) have 6 performances
scheduled for 2007.
Though Superdrag may be best-known for their 1996 major-label debut
Regretfully Yours and the hit single "Sucked Out" that helped launch the
band towards international success, the follow-up Head Trip In Every
Key, issued in 1998, was widely regarded as the band's creative peak.
Amidst label woes and line-up changes, namely the departures of founding
members Pappas and Fisher, the band would issue their third and fourth
full-lengths In The Valley Of Dying Stars and Last Call For Vitriol to
universal critical accolades, and expand their hard-won fanbase through
incessant touring, with the help of bassist Sam Powers and guitarist Mic
Harrison. Many of Superdrag's latter-day fans have never had an
opportunity to see the original line-up onstage together...until now!
Tickets will be on sale through (
) beginning July (??) for the
following dates:
10.05.07 Nashville, TN City Hall
10.13.07 Chicago, IL Metro
10. 20.07 Knoxville, TN Barley's Taproom

11.03.07 Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club

Superdrag formed in 1993. The band issued 3 acclaimed 7"s and one EP,
The Fabulous 8-Track Sound Of Superdrag, before the release of their
first proper full-length in 1996. Changin' Tires On The Road To Ruin, a
collection of b-sides, alternate versions and rarities, was released in
April 2007.
