Aside from a one-off show in 2011, The Movielife has not been a working band since their split in 2003. Nearly 12 years later, they are ready to begin working on plans for a new album and subsequent tour.
"We, as friends and lovers of music, have found that we would all like to play shows together again as The Movielife," the group wrote on its Facebook page. "We bear no news of a new record nor are we planning a 6 month world tour. But I'll tell you one thing: The Movielife is alive."
The only official event currently on the docket is a Feb. 7 show at Irving Plaza in New York City. Vinnie Caruana explained the reunion to Noisey and noted the band has not begun practicing together yet.
"Well, it was because me and Brandon [Reilly] spent time together," he said. "When we spend time together, sometimes The Movielife comes up and sometimes it doesn't, but this time it did. And I think me and Brandon have reached this point in our lives where we can be at peace and be happy with playing Movielife shows and we feel right about it at the same time for the first time in a very long time. So we just poked around with the other guys to see if they felt the same way and it seems as though everybody is feeling really positive and confident and happy about us being together and playing some shows."
The Alternative Press notes that The Movielife formed in 1997 and proceeded to pump out three LPs before their breakup six years later. When they play in New York City this February, it will have been eight years since their last gig together.
