GBV Reunion Turns into Full Tour
When it was announced that SXSW alums, lo-fi, indie rock favorites Guided By Voices were reuniting for the Matador 21st Anniversary celebration in Las Vegas, excitement was through the roof. But now that they've announced a full tour with the "classic lineup," the fervor cannot be contained.
The best part, in our opinion, is that the band will be kicking the fall tour off with the first show right here in Austin, TX. SXSW has had the pleasure of hosting GBV a few times, with performances in '95, '96 and '99. Additionally, the city of Austin declared, during the band's final tour in 2004, that November 5 would be known as Guided By Voices Day. To say that our city is home to an impressive number of GBV fans is putting it mildly.
Visit our friends over at Pitchfork for the full tour information and don't miss the opportunity to catch this highly influential band when they play a city near you.
