Dinosaur Jr.
& Special Guests Built To Spill

Over 18's gig

Dinosaur Jr. were largely responsible for returning lead guitar to indie rock and, along with their peers the Pixies, they injected late-'80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise.

Over time, Mascis shed his hardcore punk roots and revealed himself to be a disciple of Neil Young, crafting simple songs that were delivered at a crushing volume and spiked with shards of feedback. The subsequent success of indie rock acts such as Nirvana can largely be attributed to the groundwork laid by Dinosaur Jr., who have, in one guise or another, remained one of the most influential acts in alternative rock. To coincide with the 2006 reissues of their early album, the reunited band began a world-wide tour and announced plans to work on material for a new album, which surfaced in 2007 in the form of Beyond. The reunion stuck, and two years later the original lineup of Dinosaur Jr. released Farm.
