Craig Wedren on Shudder To Think getting back together
With Nathan Larson also on the bill Monday night, rumors are swirling about another Shudder to Think impromptu reunion. What are the odds on that?And in case you missed it, a video from the Bowery show is below....The odds are 99.999999 %. It looks like me, Nathan and Kevin March, who was our last drummer, are going to do some Shudder to Think songs. Stuart Hill, our bass player, is not going to do it; I think he has officially hung up his spurs. But we'll try him again in a few months if we keep doing shows. But we're not advertising this show as Shudder to Think because we're wading one toe at a time back into that ocean. I mean, we're very happy with where our friendships are; the music still feels fresh. We played a show a few months ago and it was great; it was very familial and we want to continue in that spirit and see where it takes us. But this seems like a great occasion to play some Shudder to Think songs because we are all pretty much on board about Obama and it gives it a little extra purpose and excitement.[Gothamist spoke to Craig right before the show about that and other stuff]

This guy's been playing bass for Craig for a while and sat in with STT at the Obama rally. He's pretty amazing (and a good friend of mine).

I had the chance to interview Craig, Nathan and Stuart years ago on their tour with Pavement. It was my first interview for a college TV station and a very poor interview from my end one but it was an exciting experience nonetheless/
