Macavity Reunion Show
Published: February 28, 2008
First Chomsky reunited a few weeks back. Then Light Bright Highway got back together during the throes of the Melodica Festival. And now Macavity? Reunion fever seems to be spreading around the Dallas area even faster than that cold-and-flu bug everyone's been catching.
With a sound the band describes as "post-hard-core-emo-modern-space-pop-rock," it's tough to imagine a genre in which the members of Macavity don't think they fit. That's good for an audience anticipating a wide range of sounds, and even better, you'd have to think, for the band members' odds of catching on in future musical endeavors. In fact, it already has paid dividends; most of the members of Macavity still perform around the region—just under different flags, with acts such as The Crash That Took Me and Blood on the Moors.
Unlike, say, Chomsky's reunion show, during which that band's members indicated that there'd be more performances to come in the future, this Macavity gig seems more like a one-time thing. So dig up your old Idol Records swag and prepare to party like it's five years ago.
