Fresh on the heels of a reunion appearance at the 23rd installment of The Fest in Gainesville, Florida, Cadillac Blindside announces a headlining hometown show, their first in 22 years, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band's first album, Read The Book, Seen The Movie.

Formed in 1997, Minneapolis, Minnesota's Cadillac Blindside formed in 1997. According to AllMusic biographer MacKenzie Wilson, "indie rock qualities similar to the likes of At the Drive-In, the Get Up Kids, and the Dillinger Four." The band, comprised of Zachary Zrust (vocals, guitar), James Russell (vocals, guitar), Trent Raygor (bass), and Rebecca Hanten (drums), released its debut album, Read the Book Seen the Movie, in late 2000 by Soda Jerk.

They were ultimately signed to Fueled By Ramen out of Gainesville. After releasing their most successful record, These Liquid Lungs, in May 2002, the band broke up in July 2002, citing "reasons too numerous to mention." Zrust went on to form Fuel The Fire. Russell and Hanten went on to form The Cardinal Sin. Trenton went on to form Monarques. 

The group previously reunited in 2016 and toured in support of Motion City Soundtrack. 

Smartpunk Records has re-released Read The Book, Seen The Movie as a limited-edition Stained Glass vinyl variant.
