Dinosaur jr and guests

Monday 9th July
The Studio, 340 K'RD, City, Auckland

Tickets from www.ticketmaster.co.nz and Real Groovy

The triumphant return in 2006, of the original line-up of Dinosaur Jr, was further cemented recently by the release of Beyond, the brand new studio album from the core trio of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph.
Arriving somewhere between the sonic onslaught of 1987's You're Living All Over Me and the pop-tinged melancholy of 1993's Where You Been, Beyond is arguably - no, it is - the best Dinosaur Jr album to date.
Tracks such as This Is All I Came to Do and the first single Been There All the Time, sitting comfortably alongside previous alterna-hits Freak Scene and The Wagon, as classics for a new generation of slackers.

Elsewhere (most notably on the 6 min 34 sec Pick Me Up) we bear witness to the guitar wizardry of J Mascis, picking up the ball from 3 minutes out and giving his fret-board a solid workout. Meantime, Lou Barlow provides two of the album highlights in Back to Your Heart and Lightning Bulb, his strident double-tracked lead vocal working in complete contrast to - yet remaining eerily consistent with - Mascis's laconic drawl. I Got Lost and We're Not Alone also, displaying the sort of vulnerability that underlies much of Dinosaur Jr's best work but which is rarely acknowledged. Don't just take our word for it though - check out some of these rapturous reviews for the new album :

"A genuine monster" - NME 8/10 "We are not worthy" - Time Out 5* "Beyond is a roaring success" - Guardian 3* "An absolute treat" - Kerrang 4* "Mascis is at his laconical, vulnerable best" - Classic Rock "A thing of absolute joy'" - Word Magazine

And with all that knowledge safely in the bank, it's a pleasure to announce that Dinosaur Jr will return to Australia and New Zealand this July for a full national tour. With all amps cranked to eleven you can be sure that Dinosaur Jr will deliver their new material and favourite oldies with all the subtlety of a jet engine - just the way you like it...
