The Donnybrook Writing Academy

Fans of Dinosaur Jr. can expect to find J. Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph flanked by skyscraping stacks of Marshall amps when the trio hits the stage at the Boulder Theater on Thursday, October 29th.  Mascis and co. have been on the road in support of Farm, their second post-reunion offering, since it was released last June.  Even though the record still boasts the perverse slacker energy that made Dino Jr. so great the first time around, Farm proves the band’s reunion is more about making new music than trading on past glory. Fear not, tenacious concertgoers, for all of Farm’s high points should make the transition from recording to stage. Get ready to hear Mascis doing his best Neil Young impression while he shreds over Lou and Murph’s thrashing rhythms. And don’t forget your earplugs.

Want to go to the show for free? Donnybrook Writing Academy is giving away a pair of tickets to the first person who can correctly answer the following question from our musical archives:

What song did Lou Barlow write and perform with his band Sebadoh that was purported to be about J. Mascis?
