Can't hardly wait.First got to see dino jr live now sebadoh.Its going to be all original members: Lou Barlow, Eric Gaffney and Jason Lowenstein. I'll definetly be at the northhampton and boston show.I wonder what albums they'll focus their shows on?

Also, whats everyone's favorites sebadoh record on here? I would love to hear a lot of stuff from III and Bakesale live.

04/09 Tallahassee Beta Bar
DAMNIT. this is the closest show to my town, but Im assuming that it's a 18 and up show because it's at a bar

Pretty obviously the ones Eric played on III, Bubble and Scrape and probably a few songs from their other releases but I would expect those 2 albums to make up the bulk of the set list.

well not neccesarily, look at the dino jr reunion tour. They did the wagon, out there and feel the pain live.All songs after lou left the band.

My favorite Sebadoh records are by far the first two. Once they became an official "band" I don't mind them, but I'm just not anywhere near as blown away as by those old crazy 4-track experiments.

I saw Eric Gaffney in his pretentiously titled "Fields of Gaffney" band about a year ago and was quite the opposite of impressed. He was opening for the Sun City Girls and No Neck Blues Band, so it was certainly an odd place for him to be. In addition to playing very mediocre Sebadohish songs, he kept introducing them by indie-name dropping, "We played this one on tour with Firehose..." or even worse, "This one originally came out on cassette..."

Exactly.

The Wagon came after they had played alot of shows together and out there and feel the pain have only just made an appearance after over a year of them touring. Eric is abit of a dick so I doubt he will want to play the other stuff. The fact that it says classic line up on their website to me says that they're just gonna play Eric era stuff. To me this is a good thing, Bakesale and Harmacy have their moments but the earlier stuff was more superior.

rob (instigator) is going to flip when he finds out that they are coming to houston hahah

I saw Sebadoh back in the day, and there are few other shows that combine a smug audience-loathing stage demeanor with utter musical mediocrity that stick out in my mind like that one.

I'll definitly try my best to go to the 4/08 / Atlanta / Variety Playhouse show, I saw Dino Jr. around that time this year, going on last year, so it would be a thrill to see Sebadoh a year later after seeing Dino Jr. & I'll be honest in admitting, I've only heard "III", but that doesn't exclude how much I appreciate this band.

Thanks for posting!

All I know by them is Sebadoh III, which is really killer, and I'd love to see em live, but Lee's is 19+ :(

i liked them up until bakesale but after that i lost touch.

i hope they are a three piece again for this tour. i may go see them if they are around europe.

Couldn't have put it better.

thank you buddy

Back and forth. I don't see a creative point in these re-unions. Neither Dinosaur Jr nor Sebadoh. It's just like the Pixies and even though f.e. J Mascis doesn't seem to be like one interested in it, but you can hardly doubt the money issues. Why oh Why?

These re-unions are essential to me. I'm 18 so I missed all these bands when they were going and fuck seeing all the shit bands that are playing now. There are hardly any bands that I like that are still going now apart from Bardo Pond, Mogwai, Dead Meadow. Then old bands that are still going like SY and the Melvins have both made pretty boring new albums.

So if Dinosaur jr or the pixies or any other bands hadn't of had a re-union I would have been pretty pissed. I understand those who saw them in their prime might see them as lame and out for money but what about the teenagers of today; who do they have to look up to.... the fucking piece of shit indie bands coming out of england or the emo scene. It's fucked up. I just pray that some day MBV, Kyuss, Butthole Surfers, Catherine Wheel, any of those bands do a re-union tour.

I did a little research and the Tally show is all ages.
AAHHAHAHAAH!! Im exited

I am not interested in seeing old people trying to reincarnate their old minds, by acting like they were young and only playing songs they wrote twenty years ago. Even though today's music scene is lacking a decent amount of creative power, I don't think it's the right answer to watch all these bands and keep struggling with them.
Seriously there are enough live recordings from the old days - audio and videowise - and honestly they just don't match those times. Even though you say "It's great seeing them live". Is it great to attend a gig, just be able to drop the band's name in your "seen live" list? It isn't and you know it.

I'm disagree with Pulsar 'cause when you're a young asshole like me, Sebadoh and Dino are more exciting than actual groups like Frantz Ferdinand, The Killers, Bloc Party, or other bullshit. No comparison.
I hope Sebadoh 'll come in Europe (PARIS...). I've just see Lou Barlow with Dino, short concert but very pleasant.

The sad story mr. Spray is that there are only three bands in the world aside of reunion ones and those are called:


I now see your point. ;)
