Word on the street (from a friend of a friend that plays poker with the guy) is that the original lineup of Big Black, one of Chicago’s most influential indie rock bands, will be reuniting and playing at the Touch & Go 25th Anniversary Party being held Sept. 8-10 right here in Chicago.

Is anyone planning on going to this? I’d love to see Shellac & Ted Leo — but I’m pretty sure the Big Black announcement could be pretty influential in who I’d want to see for the weekend…
