My favorite band, Sunny Day Real Estate, kicked off their 2009 reunion tour on Wednesday, September 16th with an unannounced secret show at Hell's Kitchen in Tacoma, WA. Even though word only spread by a few blog posts and Twitter updates, the place was packed to see SDRE play for the first time in nine years, and the first time with the original lineup in 15 years.

A few more.

Some pictures from Saturday's Bumbershoot.

Harvey Danger played their last show in Seattle last night.  Set one was a regular set of songs, set two was all requests, and the encore featured a new song that should eventually be available for download on harveydanger.com.  As a band I've followed since one of their first Seattle shows, I can say it's sad to see them go, but last night was a great celebration of their music.  Set list and a picture below.
