This week in reunions...

* Rage Against the Machine, as previously noted, are touring this summer, but apparently not working on any new music together. Frontman Zack de la Rocha finally (after 10 years) will release an album July 22 called One Day as a Lion. Oh, wait, it's an EP. So it's taken him 10 years to do five tracks. Wow. You can listen to collaborations with Trent Reznor and DJ Shadow that have already appeared here. Meanwhile, Tom Morello will release his second solo album, The Fabled City, on September 30. To recap: since RATM broke up the first time, Morello has made three Audioslave albums and two solo albums. De la Rocha has put out a soundtrack contribution, an online-only single, and an EP.

* Shudder to Think are back together for the first time since 1998 for nine shows scattered throughout the summer and fall, including appearances at August's Virgin Festival in Baltimore, September's Virgin Festival in Toronto and October's Virgin (sorry, Voodoo) Festival in New Orleans. Get all the dates here. Don't remember Shudder to Think? Here's a taster, "Nine Lives."



* Sadly, it doesn't look as if the Get Up Kids (who broke up in July 2005) are getting back together anytime soon, what with keyboardist James Deewees releasing a new album with Reggie and the Full Effect and (maybe) joining My Chemical Romance, former lead singer Matthew Pryor doing kids' music with the Terrible Twos, and guitarist Jim Suptic rocking out Replacements-style with the Blackpool Lights. But hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
