At the Drive-In Band • Page 12

How was the reunion received? I know the album was polarizing but how about the attendance at live shows, were they selling out? Were people into it?

 

I heard attendance was slowing down towards the end. For the first year or so they were selling out shows near instantly.

I went to the Cleveland show in 2017 and I don't believe it sold out. They put on a great show but they also seem to be a band where if you're not into them, you're probably going to hate them live even more lmao

 

I interpret Cedric's quote, and their thankful post on the band's social media channels this morning as more of a "taking some time off in the wake of extensive touring to evaluate things" sentiment, and not necessarily them breaking up again. Maybe they'll decide to do so, but to me it sounds like they want to take some time to process where they are. I enjoyed the newer releases for what whey were, but it's definitely not the same.

 

No Volta thread here but there's this

Check out @cedricbixler_’s Tweet:

 

Is Cedric saying he was in the studio with Beto recently??? hahha

 

Lmao Omar. He calls him Puerto Rican Bernie Sanders for some reason

 

Cedric is so bizarre haha

 

Hahaha

 

The first two Volta albums are so damn good

 

no more ATDI bumps for Mars Volta. gets me so excited, but then let down a bit.

 

my RSD pressing of Relationship of Command is legit the best sounding record i own. shit slaps.

 

I don't have an RSD pressing but mine also sounds great. Strange that the nu metal production serves the album so well

 

Whatever happened to that Antemasque with Travis Barker release?

 

Album was supposedly recorded entirely. Cedric said a couple weeks ago on Twitter that they were just waiting for a good time to release it

 

Need that in my ears.

 

I’m all in. Would love to hear it

 

Cedric Bixler-Zavala on The Mars Volta reunion: "It's happening"

 

Yoooo

 

hell yes

 

Let's go baby!!

 

OMG yes! I can’t wait to see them live.

 

Guesses on drummer for the album?

 

I would guess Deantoni Parks.

 

Here for it.

 

Would like to have Jon back, but obviously he’s with QOTSA still.
