Lou Barlow I've seen before - in fact at the time he discussed his rapprochement with his co-Dino J Mascis. He wasn't as cheerful and jokey this time around. He actually baited the crowd a bit, first breaking off a song, then saying "Sorry if I distracted you from talking ..." Then later yelling "Thanks for coming to the show!" , However, he cheerfully played a request from the audience (this time for Skull), before finishing with "one you haven't heard before."

Next up were MV & EE. Matt Valentine and Erika Elder have a good new album out, Barn Nova, which is fairly rocking. They played Summer Magic and Get Right Church off of it, the later featuring a guest appearance by Mascis on drums.

Dinosaur Jr. naturally rocked the house, or should that be, they pummelled the house flat with a massive hurricane of volume? The kids got moshing (making the security staff grumpy) You'll notice from the photo below that that isn't Murph on drums (too much hair). He was refused entry, so Kyle Spence from The Fog filled in, and did a great job. Lou jokingly thanked the crowd for turning out "after failing to get Tegan and Sara tickets."

A fine show; my only complaint is that Mascis' amplifier nook includes a case that partially blocked my view.
- Show reminder:It's Day 2 of Tegan and Sara and An Horse's Bronson Centre Theatre stand. Hemi Loco, Junkyard Dogs and The Boxcar Cadavers rock Mavericks; Madison & Fifth, Dollhouse Accessories and Look Toward the Sky play Zaphod Beeblebrox; The Banditas and Hot Damn! play Raw Sugar; Sherri Harding and The Heat perform at The Rainbow; Black Feelings, Tonstartssbandth and some mystery guests play 854 Bronson.
