When I was told that Self was reuniting for a one-off show this December I was shocked. Mahaffey had played some acoustic sets under the moniker and I assumed that meant the full band style rock show had gone away. Fortunately, this Benefit Show at Exit/In is proof that those days aren't entirely gone.. not quite yet. Oh, and then they went and posted a new music sampler. Maybe they aren't gone for good after all? Long story short, no matter how much time passes between full live shows or proper album releases, I'm still a fan. If you're in the same realm, I suggest you get tickets and join in.. it'll probably be awhile before it happens again.
