Sunny Day Real Estate – Free Concert

September 30, 2009 – “Hello. And we’re back.”

That’s how Sunny Day Real Estate singer Jeremy Enigk greeted a sold-out audience at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night. A sea of plaid and vintage Jawbox T-shirts erupted in appreciation.

• “Friday”
• “7”
• “Shadows”
• “Song About an Angel”
• “Grendel”
• “Guitar and Video Games”
• “Iscarabaid”
• “Theo B”
• “10” **New Song**
• “47”
• “J’Nuh”
• “Sometimes”
• Encore
• “In Circles”
• “Spade and Parade”
• “48”

It almost doesn’t matter the reason; the fact is that Sunny Day Real Estate has reunited. Granted, this is the second reunion by the influential emo-rock band (third, if you count the Dan Hoerner-less group The Fire Theft), but with original bassist Nate Mendel onstage, there was a fresh energy that had been missing from SDRE and related projects since he left for Foo Fighters.
