Hum reunite for a New Year's Eve show at Chicago's Double Door.

Prodigal Midwesterners, New Yorkers looking to escape the night of sequined bridge and tunnel invasion on the final night of the year, and all other sojourners to the Second City this New Year's, take heart, take earplugs: space rock pioneers Hum will reunite for a one-off show at Chicago's Double Door.

Yes, in controversion to the rule that every New Year's Eve must be followed only by regret and a hangover (hope for the new year is felt most keenly at the bottom of that barrel, no?), to that booty add also ringing in the ears and the memory that you may have gotten in a fight with your girlfriend being a little overprotective of certain really, really important bands during the reunited Illinois residents' rendition of '96 single Stars, recently used as the background music for that “does your car turn you on?” Cadillac commercial (weird).

Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com or at the Double Door box office.
