So, after years of people absolutely willing it to happen, it has happened. Or at least it will. After ten long years At The Drive-In are reforming. For real this time. No joking. The band's website was today updated with this message:
“"ATTENTION! To whom it may concern: AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11year silence. THIS STATION IS.... NOW....OPERATIONAL"”
There was also this video, seen below:

So, there you go. The band are also now operating a Twitter account. Funnily enough they tweeted something back at the end of October. It was a link to Mike Diver's reassessment of the band's Y2K parting shot yet seminal album Relationship of Command. You should probably watch it.
UPDATE: The El Paso five-piece will also play America's Coachella festival, which has a pretty spectacular line-up already.
