March 23rd hushed the wind the music died. See what we did there? Jokes aside, At The Drive-In made their way onstage to kick off their 2016 reunion last night. They played at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA.
It was the first time the band performed since their 2012 reunion stint — and the first time playing without co-founder Jim Ward, who parted ways with the band a few days ago.
Interestingly, Ward was replaced by Keeley Davis, who ironically plays in Sparta with him. No word on whether Davis is a permanent member of the group.
Here’s some footage from last night.
And for our own amusement, the last video we included is for “Napoleon Solo.”
