Texas Is the Reason to Reunite

I think the trick to gaining legendary status in the punk/indie world (besides naming your band after a Misfits lyric) is to put out a great album and bail. An example of this would be Operation Ivy.

In Texas Is the Reason's case, you put out a 7" that makes proto-emo and hardcore kids drool for more, then deliver a record that makes critics and A&R reps freak out. Then you proceed to get signed and fall off the face of the Earth without ever putting out the major-label record. Needless to say, NYC's (post) post-hardcore quartet have decided to reunite for one show on the ten-year anniversary of 'Do You Know Who You Are?'

Full show presale details and MP3 after the jump.

If you missed out on TITR's short, yet influential, run, then buy their records here and here. You won't be sorry.
