Original Dinosaur Jr line up reform (1 Viewer)

According to Pitchfork

Dinosaur Jr., one of the most legendary indie rock bands of the 80's, are reuniting to play the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan with shows in the UK to follow. The BBC reports that the embattled duo of J. Mascis and Lou Barlow will perform together for the first time in 15 years. Ongoing feuding between the two spurred Barlow to leave the band after the release of their third album, Bug, in 1988 in order to focus on his work with Sebadoh. The 1990s saw Barlow's greatest success with the Folk Implosion and the unexpected top 40 hit "Natural One". Dinosaur Jr. briefly went on hiatus after Barlow's departure and reformed in 1991. The group permanently disbanded after 1997's Hand It Over, at which time Mascis moved on to form The Fog. That group's More Light-- released in 2000 and featuring guest appearances from Kevin Shields and Robert Pollard-- was hailed as a return to form.

wellll, when Pixies reformed, they went for all the festivals 'cos that's where the money's at. I have a very strong feeling that this will bethe case. Still, lou and J and Murph on one stage playing songs .|..|.|..|.|..|

ah the pixies and Dino Jr are very different prospects reformation-wise. For starters J Mascis doesn't fill the same size venues that Frank Black can and they never had that bogger cross over appeal that the Pixies did. Thankfully.
