Kevin Max pulling for a DC Talk Reunion Tour?!?

I saw this on Jesus Freak Hideout and HAD to post it!

Quote :

As buzz continues to build for the first release of the new Michael
Tait-fronted Newsboys on July 13th (Born Again), and TobyMac
continues to celebrate his recent fourth solo project, Tonight,
the third member of DC Talk has begun
rallying fans in support of petitioning a reunion of the band for 2011.
Last night, Kevin Max posted on his Twitter feed
and Facebook page, "Trying to get a dct tour happening, perhaps next
year, any of you down? "

The response to Max's teaser post was
overwhelming, and he soon responded "Oh and to answer all of your lovely
enquiries, yes I am serious- I don't want to see the bands legacy go
down like a Lost Titanic." Again, earlier this evening, Max posted again
on his Facebook page, "Who wants to start a petition with me right here
to bring dctalk back after the Intermission? - sign your name and I
will forward to the appropriate people."

While it's clear Max is serious about it, and
Heaven knows we would love this to come to pass, we have to wonder how
likely it would be for Toby and Michael to pull away from their
full-time duties with their respective ventures for a reunion. Would
Toby have to put his solo career with the Diverse City Band on hold?
Would Michael be able to leave Newsboys for such a reunion? Or would it
have to be a tour that would include all the bands (and, realistically
speaking, wouldn't it be rather exhausting to perform two major shows in
one night for a tour?)?

It's probably much too early to tell whether
anything will come of this, but the mere fact Max is being so adamant
about the idea of a DC Talk reunion and their "Intermission" ending
really has us curious. What DC Talk fan hasn't dreamed of a
reunion tour or new music since they disbanded after their "DC Talk Solo
Tour" in 2001? And after all, a tour next year would be the 10 year
anniversary since their last one.

Coincidentally, JFH announced the results of their
7th Annual Reader's
Choice Awards earlier this week and DC Talk won the category of
"Artist You Would Like To See Return" by a landslide.

You can be sure that we'll keep you posted as this
unfolds (if it continues to, that is). In the meantime, I suppose it's
fun to dream, but not get our hopes up too much.

From what I've heard/read, the other two guys have wanted to do the reunion thing for quite some time and Kevin was the holdup.

With the Newsboys releasing their first full length with Tait this year and Toby Mac just released a new one a couple of months ago, I bet this tour happens as both bands slow down after a year of touring with the new projects. I hope they even go so far as to pick up where they left off and hit the studio again.

I would definitely not be opposed to this!

Cool news for DC Talk fans.
