The Georgia Theatre is hosting Sunny Day Real Estate alongside its opening band Pool Kids on Saturday. The five-piece emo band from Seattle, WA is made up of musicians Jeremy Enigk on guitar and vocals, William Goldsmith on drums, Dan Hoerner on guitar, Greg Suran on guitar and Chris Jordan on bass. Formed in 1992, the outfit has created a name for itself across the nation for blurring the fine line between profane ecstasy and sacred transcendence within the confines of its genre. They consider their sound as something of a yin and yang concept, and it was this concept that connected them to a wider audience. Sunny Day Real Estate emerged as the love child of a dying grunge scene and skyrocketing pop-punk era. This strange genre-melting environment led to an even more interesting emerging band full of pure passion.
