Twin Peaks Add 10th Anniversary Reunion Shows
The chords are ringing out once more from the Windy City, a welcome encore for those who've kept the faith. Last week, the airwaves and message boards hummed with the kind of anticipatory static that only a beloved band can generate—Twin Peaks, the Chicago rock outfit distinct from David Lynch's surreal masterpiece, were teasing a return.True to the rhythm of a well-loved record, they made it official this Monday, announcing a pair of hometown shows to commemorate the decade-long legacy of their 2016 album, *Down In Heaven*. It’s a record that, for many, sits in that sweet spot of their discography—raw yet refined, a document of a band hitting a confident stride, all garage-rock swagger and melodic heart.The announcement, however, nearly slipped into the silent space between tracks, lost in the cacophony of Stereogum’s own website relaunch, a digital upheaval familiar to any music fan constantly refreshing their favorite haunts. But in a move that feels perfectly pitched for their dedicated followers, Twin Peaks has now gifted us a reprieve, a second-side surprise: two additional reunion shows have just been added to the run.This isn't merely a cash-grab nostalgia trip; it's a testament to the enduring pull of a genuine article. Think of it like a rare B-side suddenly getting its moment on a greatest hits compilation.For a band that built its reputation on raucous, sweat-drenched live performances that feel more like a communal celebration than a passive concert, this expanded run is a gift. It speaks to the specific ecosystem of Chicago's rock scene, a fertile ground that nurtured their ascent, and it offers a new generation a chance to witness the chaotic harmony that made them legends in certain circles.The anniversary of *Down In Heaven* provides a perfect focal point, an album that itself was a kind of reunion with a looser, more soul-inflected sound after the breakneck pace of their earlier work. These shows promise to be more than a replay; they're a re-contextualization, a chance to hear these songs with a decade of life layered on top, both for the musicians on stage and the fans in the crowd, a full-circle moment played at the perfect volume.
