Stereogum on Instagram: "Don Caballero are back. Earlier today, the Pittsburgh instrumental band that co-pioneered and later perfected math rock during their original ’91-2000 run announced the reunion of their Y2K-era lineup. They’ll play next year’s Primavera Sound, with more dates TBA. Stereogum met up with guitarist Ian Williams, bassist Eric Emm, and drummer Damon Che as they swapped quarter-century-old tour stories and explained why the time was right to reconvene. (The recent popularity of Angine de Poitrine was just a coincidence, though Don Cab salute the Québécois sensations: “It’s the highest, I think, visibility math rock has ever been,” says Emm.) For fans who might be wondering about the status of guitarist Mike Banfield and bassist Pat Morris, original members who departed the band before 2000’s ‘American Don,’ they aren’t part of the current reunion plans. But both remain on good terms with the Don Cab camp, and Che says it’s not out of the question that they might participate in future activity.
