Shudder to Think members Craig Wedren and Nathan Larson are reuniting for another show, and this one is to support the man who is steadily becoming the indie rock presidential candidate of choice, Barack Obama.
Man, if he gets into the White House, can they please sing the opening lyrics of "No Rm. 9, Kentucky" all Marilyn Monroe-style ("Happy birthday, Baa-raaaaack... yeah!") at his inauguration?

Anyway, the upcoming Wedren/Larson show is on February 4, i.e. the night before the big Super Tuesday primary elections, at NYC's Bowery Ballroom. GetUpandVote.com is presenting the show, called "Barack Rock", and the other performers include hosts Stella (Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain), the Cardigans' Nina Persson, OK Go, Joan as Police Woman, and other surprise guests.

According to a press release, all these people have united behind Obama because he "is the only viable and honest candidate that represents actual, meaningful change for our country in this time of acute political, social, and economic decline."
