No Jim, no At The Drive-In. :colbert:

It's not like they replaced the bassist or drummer. Jim founded the band and was a huge part of their sound. He was a member even before Omar joined. ATDI was very much a product of his creativity, along with Omar and Cedric of course. Now the ATDI reunion (or "reignition", as Cedric recently spun it) is just the Mars Volta joined by a new drummer and the guy that joined Sparta for their last (underrated, imo) record replacing Jim playing ATDI covers. I will admit, Keeley Davis sings almost exactly like Jim and he's a good guitarist too, so the shows will most likely be good shows, but I think it's a little in bad taste to call this At The Drive-In without Jim (or Omar or Cedric).

It sounds like he wasn't aware there was a reunion tour planned for starters

Wait what

Is there more info available other than the official band announcement?

Just have that guy that isn't Jim play the show with four guys that aren't in the band either play some ATDI covers, problem solved.

The lack of Jim Ward is too glaring for me.
