Drummer Sara Lund reflects on the band’s “delightful” reunion dates
Half a year after wrapping their first tour in over two decades, Unwound heads to Austin. But Levitation won’t be the first time the Olympia post-hardcore icons have reunited to play a local festival.
“Classic Unwound gig … except no Vern, of course” is the bittersweet expectation Levitation audiences can hold as well. The bassist passed away in 2020, after plans for this year’s reunion tour were already in motion. Despite that tragedy, Lund says the shows have been “delightful” affairs. Jared Warren joins on bass, while Scott Seckington of Nocturnal Habits steps in on guitar/keys, expanding the band’s nervous, claustrophobic, and noisy post-hardcore to a fourpiece onslaught.
And every night was a reunion with old friends, people that hadn’t seen each other in 20 years. We’re all able to have a great time but also acknowledge and hold space for our grief around Vern. It’s almost like every night is this celebration of life in a way. died the way we died because we had to, it wouldn’t have mattered how popular we were. In fact, it might have even made it worse.
