Dead From Above 1979

Ever since Wednesday, January 19, when Coachella announced their line-up I was in awe, literally. I was at work and just stopped and stared at my monitor until my eyes watered up; from either tears of joy or because I had been staring in such disbelieve for so long expecting one of the acts to disappear.

Way back in August of 2006 one of the greatest bands ever announced they hated each other and thus ended Death from Above 1979 but now, thanks to Coachella, they're back.

Currently we only have two dates set, Coachella and another festival in Austria, but we've got hints of a more tour dates. Personally I already hate myself for not purchasing a Coachella ticket before they sold out so if we get any show on the west side of the country I'll be making a road trip.
Full quote about the reunion after the jump.

 It’s been 5 years since Death From Above 1979 played a show, 10 years since Jesse played me the first demos & 11 years since we sat in his parents basement and played so loud we knocked the china off the shelves upstairs. 11 seems to be a YES number for me. Though I am usually a pretty rational guy, if I have something on my mind and I see an 11 somewhere, I know I’m on the right path. It’s one of my last remaining superstitions. 2011 has a nice ring to it & if you’re so inclined, it may be the last year ever! So why not say YES? Why not say YES to Coachella? Why not say YES to playing the music we designed to be an undeniable source of power? Why not say YES to stirring up a writhing pit of sweaty humans? YES to riots! YES to heavy music! YES instead of maybe, and YES to make death your adviser and remind yourself always, that this is not a dress rehearsal. This is the big show.
Jesse and I have decided that what we can do together should not be denied.
Together again, as was always the intention, as a collaboration.
The collision of two different worlds.
As this all takes shape, we will reveal it to you.
All of it happening, as it always has, in our own way.
Thank you all for sharing in our excitement!
Yes.
