CLICK THIS LINK TO BUY!http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/10003CEDF4703289Dinosaur Jr were formed as Dinosaur in 1983 in Amherst, Massachusetts by J Mascis (guitar and vocals) and his high school classmate Lou Barlow (bass guitar), following the break-up of their hardcore punk band Deep Wound. Shortly afterwards, Murph (Emmett Patrick Murphy, drums) joined them. Their debut album, Dinosaur was issued in 1985. In 1987, in part due to support from fans in Sonic Youth they signed to SST Records, they released what is often considered their best album, You're Living All Over Me. Immediately following that album's release, another band called The Dinosaurs, featuring ex-members of Country Joe and the Fish and Jefferson Airplane, sued them over the use of the name, prompting the addition of "Jr". Tensions ran high between Mascis and Barlow, and in 1989, after touring in support their third album Bug, Barlow was kicked out of the band. Thereafter, Barlow turned his full attention to his former side-project Sebadoh. In 2004, Mascis regained the master rights to the first three Dinosaur Jr albums from SST, and arranged for their reissue on the Merge label in early 2005. The reissues coincided with the announcement that the original lineup of Mascis, Barlow and Murph was reuniting for a summer tour. 2006 saw the continuation of the Dinosaur Jr reunion tour, as well as the band's first DVD released. Dinosaur Jr's career was chronicled in Our Band Could Be Your Life, a book about several important American underground rock groups during the 1980s, and were one of the curators of 2006's All Tomorrow's Parties festival.Friday, September 1 – Capital Music HallLicensed 19+ showDoors: 8PMTickets: $32.50 (plus applicable charges)On sale Friday, July 21 @ noonTickets available at all Ticketmaster outlets and End Hits or call(613) 755-1111 to charge.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sick, I remember these guys. I don't know if they still tickle me the way they used to for me to shell out $40+ bucks, but, good to see them out and about and in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
