BEV Lou Barlow's House [ Info ] [ GM ] [ LM ] [ YM ] By: tlp333 @ 2008-12-13 11:55:53 The alternative rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, lives here. A founding member of the groups "Dinosaur Jr." and "Sebadoh", he is credited with helping to pioneer the lo-fi style of rock music in the late 1980's and early 1990's. He is widely considered to be among the most prolific and ground-breaking...
Who says Built To Spill is the only Idaho musical export worth a damn? The Very Most hail from Boise, Idaho and offer a healthy dose of mature indie pop with a little twee thrown in for good measure. With vocals that often recall Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, The Folk Implosion, Dinosaur Jr.) the band sounds [...]
photos by Elizabeth Weinberg Friday night featured three groups performing their respective definitive albums. Mission of Burma's trademark post-punk sound pervaded for its performance of 1982's Vs. Sebadoh's set, which comprised the noisy-to-folk renderings of Bubble and Scrape, found the...
Sparks Plus was flying the first night of the Pitchfork Music Festival. The promised thunderstorms never materialized, though the clouds remained generally ominous throughout, and we got soaked en route to the grounds. (Well, I got soaked. Amrit wisely invested in a handsome grey poncho. I decided to roll the dice and lost.) Set-wise, it was pure nostalgia, another in the All Tomorrow's Parties/Don't...
It's well known that after the power struggle that ended in his departure from Dinosaur Jr., Lou Barlow designed to be a completely democratic band. It's also well known that this didn't work out so well. After several resignations and reunions, Eric Gaffney finally quit for good after the recording of their fifth full-length, 1993's Bubble and Scrape. This record is interesting in retrospect because...
Sebadoh - Bubble and Scrape: 15th Anniversary Reissue ( Domino ) [ audio ] [ upcoming shows ] This 15th anniversary reissue adds alternate takes and demos, 32 tracks in total. Liner notes detail Eric Gaffney's final recordings with the band and also reveal that Gaffney and Lou Barlow didn't play on each other's songs. Musically, Barlow sticks to moping and Gaffney sticks with sonic experiments that...
Sebadoh recently re-released a double-disc version of 1993's Bubble & Scrape , and the previously unreleased material includes alternate versions of Eric Gaffney shrieks and Jason Loewenstein whines, as well as an acoustic demo of Lou Barlow's "Soul And Fire"—one of two tracks on the album that were originally designed to win back his girlfriend, Kath, who is now his wife and the mother of his child....
Released roughly halfway through their recording career, Bubble & Scrape captured Sebadoh as a band in most profound transition. Since inception, Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney and Jason Loewenstein had ever been more a wonderfully chaotic collective of individuals following their own erratic, crazy-paved paths than the typical, rigidly-defined group. All three wrote and sang their [...]
If there was a list of potential reunions unlikely to happen ten years ago, Dinosaur Jr would have ranked second, not far from checking Morrissey and Marr back together in a tour bus. Let’s travel back in time to a seminal year: 1991. Rock history was turned upside down. Nirvana released Nevermind. Capitalizing on Dinosaur Jr. influential works, Nevermind [...]
Yesterday, on leaving The Elephant's Head, Ira, all covered in layers as if it were deep Winter, told us under the 24 degrees London heat: “I should have come here 10 years ago”. That feeling sort of sums up one of my first reactions in the UK as well. You have to understand: 10 years ago [...]
I should have known better than to be fooled by the fact that Lou Barlow, whose reformed Sebadoh played a great set at Brighton's Concorde 2 last night, arrived on stage with an acoustic guitar – I’d forgotten that he plays with so much distortion it scarcely matters what instrument he's playing. The acoustic guitar, then, was monstrously loud and Sebadoh were Sebadoh – sloppy, uneven, occasionally...
Well, Lou was already gonna be at The Pitchfork Music Festival (July 18-20) anyway since Dinosaur Jr is playing that Sunday, but now he'll be there opening night as well, leading Sebadoh through Bubble and Scrape! Other new additions are: The Hold Steady (squee!), Elf Power, Caribou, Icy Demons, Boban Markovic Orkestar, Titus Andronicus, Bon Iver, Times New Viking, HEALTH, High Places, and Mahjongg....
