When one utters the word “reunion” in regards to rock music, it is generally met with a hefty amount of skepticism. And when a band decides to release an album after their hiatus, fans and critics cautiously await what may be a rip-off of old material, or, even worse, a lucrative scheme for more money. Luckily for Dinosaur Jr. fans such as I, we have bore witness to the holiest of reunions. With their album I Bet On Sky , the band’s third since their reunion, Dinosaur Jr. exemplifies the benefits of “gettin’ the band back together." [...]
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars I love how the songs of my youth are coming back to haunt my record collection. A slew of bands have returned to the fold, but for me, none has been more important than that of Dinosaur Jr , especially with their classic line-up at the helm. I Bet On Sky isn't a return to form, but it shows the continued growth of a band we've all adored for many a year. At first, I was taken [...]
Perhaps best known for his role as co-founder of Dinosaur Jr. , Lou Barlow , along with fellow Dino-mate J Mascis, brought back a penchant for driving guitar noise and helped ignite a firestorm in the '80s American Underground that would continue well into the '90s. That influence continues this week with the release of I Bet on Sky , the band's third record since reuniting again in 2005. In light of the new LP , Consequence of Sound decided to check in with Barlow to discuss his inordinately busy year. The outfit-shifting songwriter discussed Sebadoh’s return, [...]
And here's mr. Lou Barlow, the original losing loser, at home in his bedroom. Tape's running. Sentridoh - Beyond The Barbwire Sentridoh - Strange Love
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde If anyone subscribes to this mantra onstage, it's Lou Barlow. Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and drummer Russ Pollard were back in Toronto for the second time in as many years. This time with a triple-loaded billing starting with Loewenstein's Circle of Buzzards , followed by Barlow's solo act (this time under Sentridoh ), and finally Sebadoh. Walking in towards the end of Circle of Buzzards' scream-laden set, I was pleasantly surprised at how the show appeared to be running ahead of schedule. The Buzzards [...]

Name: Sebadoh Progress Report: Lou Barlow talks about recording the first new Sebadoh record in over 12 years. Lou Barlow is a very busy man. In addition to his touring and recording duties as a part of the classic Dinosaur Jr. lineup (a job that will be made much busier when Dinosaur Jr.’s new record, I Bet On Sky , is released on September 18th), Barlow is currently in the studio recording tracks for what will be the first new Sebadoh record in well over a [...]

Tras más de una década sin novedades discográficas, la banda de Lou Barlow lanzó un EP titulado Secret que ya se puede comprar online . Escuchá un adelanto de este material acá. Además, el disco se podrá comprar en los conciertos del tour que está por arrancar el grupo en Estados Unidos y Canadá. La composición de los temas que integran Secret se dividió entre el líder de Sebadoh , Lou Barlow , y el [...]
For Lou Barlow, Sebadoh was often seen as an escape from Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J Mascis, but the release of the first new music from Barlow's "other band" since 19992s The Sebadoh links back to the fact that the two projects once lived simultaneously. And with the new Dinosaur Jr. material sounding so fresh, it would seem to be the perfect time for the return of Sebadoh. While Sebadoh have toured a few times in their 13 years of non-production, Secret fills a serious gap felt by fans who were barely sated by the [...]
Los clásicos Sebadoh vuelven con un EP que contiene cinco nuevas canciones, el primer material inédito del grupo en más de una década. Secret EP fue compuesto por los históricos Lou Barlow y Jason Loewenstein, que han advertido que las canciones de este nuevo EP son un adelanto del álbum que anuncian para el 2013, pese a que ninguna de ellas está contenida en ese próximo material. Recordados por álbumes de tradición lo-fi como The Freed man (1989) o Sebadoh III (1991), el último disco de la banda data [...]
Sebadoh came in at No. 14 on our list of the Top 20 Albums That We've Been Waiting For Forever , but it seems that they'll be the first band to make it off that list. Lou Barlow and Co. have announced a new EP - which will be available for purchase on the band's upcoming East Coast tour (dates below) and via Bandcamp "sooner than you may think" - to precede a new album, planned for release in 2013.

It's an exciting time for fans of Lou Barlow . In addition to Dinosaur Jr.'s new album , Sebadoh will soon release an EP containing its first new music in 14 years. According to The Backstage Rider, Secret features five songs, and serves as precursor to a full-length album, which will be released early next year. The EP was co-written by Barlow and Jason Loewenstein, recorded at Barlow's space in Glendale, CA, and produced and mixed by the band. The album's artwork (posted above) is montage of cell phone pictures [...]
Well, here it is. The artwork for the first EP and the first new music that Sebadoh has put out in 14 years - exclusively via BackstageRider, the sorta one-stop Sebadoh shop. And guess what? It's now available on BANDCAMP: sebadoh.bandcamp.com/ SURPRISE! Containing five songs, three by Lou Barlow ("Keep the Boy Alive", "Arbitrary High" and "All Kinds") and two ("My Drugs" and "I Don't Mind") by Jason Loewenstein, with drums by Bob D'Amico, the EP features tracks that won't be on the album the band is planning to release next year. And [...]
With Day 1 of Sled Island having been a slow warm up, I say my goodbyes to Lou Barlow on the morning of Day 2 and vow to take over Calgary today with both vim AND vigour. Terrified of eating in that town due the day before's disastrous attempts with Lou (though, funnily enough, one restaurant we walk into is playing Dinosaur Jr.), I think I sort of skip lunch and instead head into Bloody Caesar territory. (Folks not from Canada - a Caesar is like a Bloody Mary but made with Clamato, a CLAMmy TOMATO juice [...]
So it's my first time in Calgary. Had no idea the place was so flat. Or that the downtown is pretty much infested with generic sport bars disguised as "upscale" restaurants. Or that the dudes at the airport actually wear cowboy hats ( hellloooooo Stampede!). It's also my first time checking out a few days of Sled Island , the city's awesome music and arts festival that takes place every year in June. In Calgary to hang with my homie Lou Barlow (whom I also do press/PR/marketing/cat-herding for in his capacity as a dude [...]
Not enough Jason Loewenstein, Lou Barlow and Bob D'Amico in your life? Well, you're in luck. You can have them all. ALL OF THEM. PLAYING SEPARATELY....AND THEN TOGETHER. AT ONE SHOW. JASON, BOB AND LOU, are coming to the eastern side of North America with a triple whammy tour of awesome. You'll get the following combination: Jason and Bob will perform as the heavy duty Circle of Buzzards , then there will be Mr. Lou Barlow solo, THEN, as if this wasn't enough, you'll get 30+ songs of Sebadoh [...]
