Dinosaur Jr set to play Ireland

The newly reconvened Dinosaur Jr. nip over on August 30 for a show in the Dublin Ambassador.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 04 Aug 2005

Featuring the classic line-up of J Mascis, Emmett Murphy and Lou Barlow, the trio are promising the same aural and visceral onslaught that made them such cult favourites during the ‘80s.

Their ‘band of the people’ status is confirmed by a website posting that “invites fans to create audio tapes of our live performance as long as the venue allows for this. We’re asking that they please refrain from shooting any video of these reunion shows as we’re preparing a special DVD that will include footage from this tour.”

It takes a mere few seconds of the first Dinosaur Jr record in God knows how long for the years to drop away. That familiar J Mascis whine, the desire to crowbar in a distorted guitar solo as soon as possible, and the feeling that, no matter how good this is (and it’s very good) they’ll never quite match glories of ‘Freak Scene’. Still, if this is anything to go by, it’ll be fun watching them try.

The world is a sunnier, brighter, downright more joyous place today for Dinosaur Jr. fans with Murph, J. Mascis and Lou Barlow reconvening for a visit to Dublin’s Temple Bar Music Centre.
