With regard to these tour dates, Alternative Press reports: "Sources tell us clubs have been cagey about booking the notorious loose-cannon drummer..."
I guess Damon better be on his best behavior, so as to live down that Athens, GA fiasco with Bellini last October.

Damon Che Books Don Caballero Reunion, Forgets To Invite Rest Of Band

Blake Butler reports:
In a move that's unexpected but not so surprising (considering who we're dealing with here), Damon Che-- longtime drummer of the hilariously amazing Don Caballero-- will be re-forming the band for a number of shows starting in late October. Here's the catch: Damon's opted not to invite the rest of Don Cab to the reunion. But hey, weren't you bored with those same old geniuses that'd been an integral part of the band for the ten years of their existence anyway? It seems Che was. Members of his current project, Creta Bourzia, will be filling out the roles instead, leaving many to wonder what happened to Ian Williams, Mike Banfield, and the bevy of faceless bassists that might have been expected to take part in this glorified reunion.
No word has been snatched up yet as to the original band member's reactions to the initiative (write us!), or if Che even approached any of them about participating. But you can be sure that while the new Don Cab won't be exactly the first thing you'd envision in a reunion, it will without a doubt be a spectacle of one stripe or another. So far the only official reunion dates are as follows:
10-23 Boston, MA - Middle East *
10-24 Philadelphia, PA - Khyber *
10-26 Baltimore, MD - Ottobar *
10-29 Atlanta, GA - Echo Lounge *
10-31 Charlottesville, VA - Tokyo Rose *
11-01 Pittsburgh, PA - Carnegie Mellon (w/ Modey Lemon, Creta Bourzia, We Safari)
11-02 Cleveland, OH - Grog Shop *
11-05 Detroit, MI - Lager House *
11-06 Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle
* with The Constantines
This kind of strange and perhaps questionable maneuvering has defined Damon Che for Don Caballero fans throughout his career, most recently in the drunken tantrum marking his departure from Bellini this time last year. In the meantime, those in need of witnessing the alien guitar work of Ian Williams can find him tapping and squelching out all sorts of melodic disorder in his new project, Battles.
Who knows, if this trend catches on, perhaps next month we'll get news that Lou Barlow is bringing back Dinosaur Jr. with some other guy we've never heard of in the driver's seat. Or, uh, The Doors could reform without Jim Morrison. How about John Mellencamp and the E Street Band?
