Sebadoh Concert Tickets

Sebadoh is an indie-rock band originally formed in 1986 in Westfield, Massachusetts, by Dinosaur Jr. bass player Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney. The band began as a side project, but when Barlow was kicked out of Dinosaur Jr in 1989, Sebadoh became his full-time concern.

Lou Barlow can certainly roll with the punches. Being booted from Dinosaur Jr. just on the way to 120 Minutes semi-stardom would have been enough to demolish a lesser artist, but Barlow shifted his focus to Sebadoh, the home-recorded side project he shared with Eric Gaffney, and turned it into an indie rock dynasty all its own...

All Reviews Sebadoh - Defend Yourself September 20, 2013 by Robert Ham Released:September 17, 2013 - Joyful Noise AP Rating: For a project that began its life as a lo-fi home recording project for Lou Barlow and his buddy Eric Gaffney, replete with wretched sound quality and interstitial samples and bits of noise, it's strange to consider that Defend Yourself could be the messiest album of Sebadoh's career...

September 23, 2013 This trio, once the platonic ideal of indie rock's ragged, guitar-blasting side and its mopey, acoustic no-fi side (see also their self-parodic 1991 single "Gimme Indie Rock!"), hasn't put out an album since 1999. As lead singer and songwriter Lou Barlow puts it on Defend Yourself, "Things have changed." The 47-year-old Barlow recently ended a 25-year relationship, and you better believe it comes up here...

Tweet The Return of the Kings of Jangle-Pop For Sebadoh, it's as if the last decade didn't happen. Defend Yourself, their latest LP since 1999's The Sebadoh, picks up right where this legendary three-piece left off. Young fans of today's indie-pop may not be aware that much of the music they enjoy today was influenced by Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein and Eric Gaffney's mix of hi-fi energy, lo-fi production and all-fi melody, but many of their favorites wouldn't exist today if not for Sebadoh...

Lou Barlow's best work comes after break-ups, or when he's yearning for something he doesn't have. III, the classic record he released in 1991 after being dismissed from Dinosaur Jr., remains his band's most intriguing balance of heartache, anger, gentleness, and noise. That's partly because longtime co-pilot Jason Loewenstein had just joined the group and charismatic founding drummer Eric Gaffney was still in the fold, but also because Barlow was fuming at J Mascis ("The Freed Pig") and...

For a project that began its life as a lo-fi home recording project for Lou Barlow and his buddy Eric Gaffney, replete with wretched sound quality and interstitial samples and bits of noise, it's strange to consider that Defend Yourself could be the messiest album of Sebadoh's career. It's not just the music found on it, though that certainly has its fair share of sloppy playing and wobbly tempos that just barely stay on the rails...

Of all the comebacks recently mounted by fondly remembered '90s underground faves, Sebadoh's might seem like one of the more difficult propositions. That's not because the group doesn't have the chops, but because the bleeding-heart-on-sleeve sentiments expressed in Lou Barlow's trademark songs seem so tied to a specific time and stage of one's life when perceived slights and psychic wounds could feel so fresh and raw...

Few people in rock are capable of keeping a legendary band functioning, and fewer are managing to juggle two of them. There's David Pajo; until recently there was Kim Deal; and then there's Lou Barlow. Despite decades of emotional turmoil, rotating line-ups and lengthy hiatus, he's currently managing to function within both Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jnr. Lest we forget The Folk Implosion never technically split up - hell, even Deep Wound get the occasional live airing...

In the '90s, Sebadoh essentially defined indie-rock, acting as the surly poster child for a genre that didn't want to be labeled, because "Who gives a shit about that stuff, man?" The band even delivered the genre's tongue-in-cheek mission statement with the sludgy "Gimme Indie Rock," a sort-of origin story about finding a sound and then shit-talking it ("Taking inspiration from Hüsker Dü / It's a new generation of electric, white-boy blues")...
