Biography

When SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE collapsed in early 1995, few would have predicted the impact the Seattle band's music would still be having over a decade later. Now, more than 15 years later the band's original lineup is reuniting to deliver its emotionally charged epics for live audiences once again.



At the time, grunge had turned Seattle into the epicenter of the music industry, making worldwide superstars out of hometown heroes Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. But Sunny Day forged its own path, deriving a unique sound from its members’ collective talents.

In 1994 SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE released ‘Diary’, which went on to not only define them as a band, but it defined a generation. The album laid much of the groundwork for the genre's end-of-decade indie prominence.”This album is an essential not only to those into the emo scene but as one of the greatest rock albums in recent memory.” – Sputnik Music

Their legions of fans were in rapture, when SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE announced they would be reforming in 2009 and will be playing a select run of club shows in the US. So it is with a kiddy squeal of delight that we can announce that they will also be gracing the stages of Soundwave 2010.

Defining album Diary will be remastered and reissued this year, with bonus tracks "8" and "9" from their 1993 7-inch Thief, Steal Me A Peach and newly written liner notes.
