Time to go to Colorado!

According to Alternative Press legendary emo (back when the word was far less shameful than its present day incarnation) act Christie Front Drive is playing a reunion show in their hometown of Denver. Their first performance in a decade will be on Saturday, September 1 at the Marquis Theater, as part of something called DenverFest III.

From AltPress:
“It’s just like old times,” writes Richter on the Caulfield Records message board. “We’re not making much money and people will probably laugh behind our backs, but we do promise fun.”

Ah, self-deprecating emo. If anyone remembers, or still cares, CFD were legends for influencing endless bands with awkward names (usually involving the seasons or the months of the year: Summer’s December!), plus when it came time to cash-in on the little movement they helped build, the band declined all offers and quietly broke up.
